What color is Benjamin Moore Barley?
Benjamin Moore Barley 199 is a light, sun-warmed beige with a clear golden-yellow cast. Its creamy depth keeps it from reading stark, making it especially appealing in living rooms, dining areas, or bedrooms that need more warmth than a typical off-white provides. In bright daylight, Barley can look softly buttery, while lower or warmer evening light brings out its richer honeyed undertone. Pair it with soft white trim, natural oak, woven grasses, and linen upholstery for a relaxed, layered look. Deep olive, muted terracotta, and warm charcoal accents give this shade useful contrast without fighting its sunny character.

LRV of Barley
Barley has an LRV of 67.55% 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 67.55%, 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.
