What color is Benjamin Moore Chatsworth Cream?

Benjamin Moore Chatsworth Cream 225 is a light, softly warmed cream with a gentle beige cast that keeps it from reading stark white. Its low saturation gives walls a quiet, lightly sunlit appearance, especially in rooms with warm natural light. In cooler or shaded spaces, Chatsworth Cream can appear more muted and neutral, with its creamy warmth still present. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a pale wall color is wanted without the sharpness of a bright white. Pair it with natural oak, linen upholstery, aged brass, and deeper brown or muted green accents for an earthy, grounded palette.

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 76.35%, 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.
