What color is Benjamin Moore Bracken Cream?

Benjamin Moore Bracken Cream CW-105 is a light cream with a soft, warm yellow-beige cast. Its #EAE0C4 color value gives it a gently muted look rather than a bright, high-contrast ivory. In north-facing or low natural light, Bracken Cream may read a little deeper and more beige, while warm afternoon sun brings out its buttery side. It is well suited to living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, and hallways where a pale wall color is wanted without the starkness of white. Pair it with warm white trim, honey-toned oak, aged brass, natural linen, or earthy greens for a cohesive palette.

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 72.77%, 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.
