What color is Benjamin Moore Cappuccino?

Benjamin Moore Cappuccino 2096-50 is a muted, light-to-medium warm beige with a noticeable dusty blush cast. Its soft peach-pink undertone keeps it from reading like a standard tan, giving walls a gently sun-warmed look without strong saturation. In bright daylight, Cappuccino can appear lighter and rosier, while lower or warmer artificial light brings out its beige, clay-like side. It suits bedrooms, powder rooms, and dining areas where a quiet wash of color feels more interesting than cream. Pair it with soft ivory trim, warm oak, natural linen, aged brass, or deeper brown accents for a grounded palette.

LRV of Cappuccino

Cappuccino has an LRV of 44.81% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 44.81%, 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.
