What color is Benjamin Moore April Showers?
Benjamin Moore April Showers 1507 is a light, softly muted off-white with a noticeable beige-yellow cast beneath its grayish surface. Its low saturation keeps it from reading overtly creamy, giving walls a quiet, lightly weathered neutral appearance. In bright daylight, this shade can look pale and airy, while lower or warmer lighting brings out more of its gentle khaki-beige warmth. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a restrained neutral is wanted without the crispness of a true white. Pair April Showers with natural oak, linen upholstery, aged brass, charcoal accents, or deeper olive tones for an earthy, grounded palette.

LRV of April Showers
April Showers has an LRV of 66.84% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 66.84%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
