What color is Benjamin Moore Cambridge Heights?
Benjamin Moore Cambridge Heights 276 is a light, sun-warmed yellow with a soft creamy cast and muted golden-beige undertones. Its low-to-medium saturation keeps it from reading like a sharp primary yellow, giving walls a gentle, mellow presence instead. In bright daylight, Cambridge Heights can appear brighter and more buttery, while lower or warmer light draws out its beige, honeyed side. It suits kitchens, breakfast nooks, mudrooms, and living areas where a little warmth is welcome without making the room feel heavily colored. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, woven fibers, and aged brass, or add contrast through charcoal, deep olive, or dusty blue accents.
LRV of Cambridge Heights
Cambridge Heights has an LRV of 66.75% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 66.75%, 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.
