What color is Benjamin Moore Boardwalk?
Benjamin Moore Boardwalk 1102 is a light, sun-warmed beige with noticeable sandy tan and soft golden-peach undertones. Its mid-light depth gives it more presence than a pale cream, while the muted finish keeps it from reading overly yellow or orange. In bright daylight, Boardwalk can look like a gentle buff beige; under warm bulbs, its honeyed warmth becomes more apparent. It suits living rooms, dining rooms, and hallways where a grounded neutral is wanted without shifting into gray. Pair it with creamy whites, warm wood floors, aged brass, woven natural fibers, or deeper brown accents for a layered, earthy interior.

LRV of Boardwalk
Boardwalk has an LRV of 46.75% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 46.75%, 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.
