What color is Benjamin Moore Cashmere?
Benjamin Moore Cashmere 930 is a very light, creamy yellow with a soft golden cast rather than a crisp white base. Its low saturation keeps the color airy on broad walls, while the warm yellow undertone is still clear enough to add gentle color to a room. In bright daylight, Cashmere can appear pale and buttery; under warmer evening bulbs, it takes on a richer cream appearance. It suits kitchens, breakfast rooms, hallways, and bedrooms where a clean but not stark neutral is wanted. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, woven fibers, muted olive, or dusty blue-gray accents for contrast.

LRV of Cashmere
Cashmere has an LRV of 79.37% 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 79.37%, 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.
