What color is Benjamin Moore Butter Pecan?
Benjamin Moore Butter Pecan OC-89 is a very light, creamy off-white with a gentle yellow-beige warmth. Its high value keeps walls bright, while the soft warmth prevents it from reading as stark or icy. In north-facing rooms, it may appear more subdued and beige-leaning; warm daylight and incandescent lighting bring out its buttery cast. Butter Pecan suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and kitchens where a pale backdrop is wanted without the crispness of pure white. Pair it with natural oak, woven linen, warm brass, tan leather, or deeper earthy browns for a grounded interior palette.

LRV of Butter Pecan
Butter Pecan has an LRV of 85.86% and refers to White colors that reflect almost all 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 85.86%, 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.
