What color is Benjamin Moore Candle Glow?
Benjamin Moore Candle Glow CSP-1015 is a muted, mid-light beige with a distinctly warm golden-tan cast. Its softened color value keeps it from reading overly yellow, giving walls a gently aged, parchment-like look rather than a bright cream appearance. In daylight, Candle Glow can appear sandy and lightly sunlit; under warm lamps, its ochre undertone becomes more noticeable. It suits living rooms, dining rooms, and bedrooms with natural wood, woven fibers, aged brass, or terracotta accents. Pair this shade with creamy off-whites, deep olive greens, or charcoal-brown details for grounded contrast.

LRV of Candle Glow
Candle Glow has an LRV of 50.23% 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 50.23%, 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.
