What color is Benjamin Moore Carrington Beige?
Benjamin Moore Carrington Beige HC-93 is a light, muted beige with a noticeable warm yellow-beige cast. Its soft, low-contrast character keeps walls bright without reading as stark cream or plain white. In north-facing or dim rooms, this color may look slightly more subdued and grayed, while warm daylight brings out its gentle sandy tone. It suits living rooms, hallways, and bedrooms, particularly alongside natural oak, linen upholstery, aged brass, and off-white trim. For contrast, pair Carrington Beige with deeper brown, olive, or charcoal accents.

What are Benjamin Moore Carrington Beige undertones?
Carrington Beige reads as a light, muted beige with a clear yellow-leaning cast and low saturation, so it looks soft rather than strongly golden. It sits close to neutral overall, but the yellow direction gives it a gently warm, creamy character instead of a gray-beige look. Benjamin Moore describes it as “a light neutral with a warm” feel, which matches the visible warmth within its beige color family. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its yellow-beige warmth, while cool daylight can make it appear more restrained and neutral.

LRV of Carrington Beige
Carrington Beige has an LRV of 61.91% 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 61.91%, 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.
