What color is Benjamin Moore Bare?
Benjamin Moore Bare OC-98 is a very light cream with a gentle beige cast and a soft buttery warmth. Its pale, low-saturation appearance keeps it from reading overtly yellow, though warm daylight can bring out its creamy side. In cooler or shaded rooms, Bare may look closer to a muted off-white with a faint tan undertone. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a white wall would feel too stark, and it can also soften cabinetry or trim when paired with warmer wall colors. Combine it with natural oak, woven linen, aged brass, terracotta, or deeper brown accents for a layered, grounded finish.

LRV of Bare
Bare has an LRV of 83.32% and refers to White colors that reflect almost all 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 83.32%, 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.
