What color is Benjamin Moore Barely There?

Benjamin Moore Barely There CSP-725 is a pale, low-saturation off-white with a gentle warm cast. Its soft beige-gray undertone keeps it from reading stark, while the high lightness makes it especially useful for brightening walls without the sharpness of a pure white. In daylight, Barely There can appear clean and lightly creamy; under warmer evening bulbs, its muted warmth becomes more noticeable. It suits bedrooms, living rooms, and quiet hallways, particularly alongside natural oak, linen upholstery, honed stone, and brushed brass. Pair it with deeper mushroom taupes, warm charcoal accents, or soft white trim for subtle definition.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 77.51%, 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.
