What color is Benjamin Moore Candle Light?
Benjamin Moore Candle Light 099 is a pale, warm cream with a noticeable peach-beige cast. Its light value keeps walls looking open and softly colored rather than strongly yellow or pink. In daylight, Candle Light can read as a muted creamy neutral, while warmer evening bulbs tend to bring forward its gentle apricot undertone. It suits bedrooms, dining rooms, and living areas where a white wall might feel too stark. Pair it with soft ivory trim, natural oak, linen upholstery, or clay-toned accents for a layered warm-neutral palette.
LRV of Candle Light
Candle Light has an LRV of 76.53% 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 76.53%, 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.
