What color is Benjamin Moore Boudoir?
Benjamin Moore Boudoir AF-190 is a light, muted beige with a noticeable peachy-tan cast that keeps it from reading flat or gray. Its soft warmth is especially apparent in sunlit rooms, while lower or cooler light can bring out its more subdued sandy side. Boudoir suits bedroom, dressing-room, and living-area walls where a pale neutral needs a little more color than off-white. Pair it with creamy trim, natural oak, warm brass, linen upholstery, or deeper clay and caramel accents for a grounded palette.

LRV of Boudoir
Boudoir has an LRV of 54.99% 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 54.99%, 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.
