What color is Benjamin Moore Chamois?
Benjamin Moore Chamois 1108 is a light, warm beige with a soft sandy cast and noticeable peachy-golden undertones. Its gentle depth keeps it from reading as plain white, while the muted saturation makes it suitable for broad wall areas in living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways. In bright daylight, Chamois can look airy and sun-warmed; under evening lamps, it shifts toward a deeper biscuit beige. Pair it with warm white trim, honey-toned oak, natural linen, and tan leather for a cohesive look. For contrast, deep olive, dusty blue, or charcoal accents give this shade more definition without fighting its warmth.

LRV of Chamois
Chamois has an LRV of 64.11% 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 64.11%, 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.
