What color is Benjamin Moore Baker's Dozen?
Benjamin Moore Baker's Dozen 1216 is a muted, medium-light clay beige with a noticeable peachy-tan cast. Its warm base keeps it from reading gray, while the softened saturation prevents it from feeling overly orange. In daylight, this shade can show more of its dusty terracotta character; under warm evening bulbs, it tends to look cozier and more caramel-toned. Use it on living room or dining room walls for a grounded backdrop with more color than standard beige. Baker's Dozen pairs naturally with creamy off-whites, warm wood, aged brass, russet textiles, and deep olive or charcoal accents.
LRV of Baker's Dozen
Baker's Dozen has an LRV of 38.24% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 38.24%, 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.
