What color is Benjamin Moore Calla Lily?
Benjamin Moore Calla Lily 283 is a pale, creamy yellow with a soft golden cast that keeps it noticeably warm without becoming bright or citrusy. Its high lightness makes it a gentle alternative to white in kitchens, breakfast rooms, and hallways where a little warmth is welcome. In direct daylight, Calla Lily can read as a delicate buttercream, while lower or warmer artificial light brings out its mellow yellow-beige character. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, woven grasses, and muted olive or terracotta accents for an earthy, layered look. On walls, this shade gives a room more color than an ivory neutral while still keeping the overall effect light.

LRV of Calla Lily
Calla Lily has an LRV of 79.44% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of 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 79.44%, 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.
