What color is Benjamin Moore Concord Ivory?

Benjamin Moore Concord Ivory HC-12 is a light, warm golden beige with a noticeable muted yellow cast. Its soft, sun-warmed color keeps it from reading as plain cream, while the moderate saturation gives walls more presence than a typical off-white. In bright natural light, Concord Ivory can appear lighter and more buttery; under warmer artificial lighting, its honeyed undertone becomes more apparent. It suits dining rooms, hallways, and living spaces where a gently colored neutral is wanted. Pair it with crisp white trim for contrast, medium-toned oak, aged brass, and earthy greens or terracotta accents.

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 60.04%, 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.
