What color is Benjamin Moore Copacabana?
Benjamin Moore Copacabana 284 is a light, sun-warmed yellow with a creamy cast and enough softness to keep it from reading as sharp or overly bright. Its #F3E4A0 color value suggests a pale golden beige base, giving the shade a gentle, low-saturation appearance on broad walls. In daylight, Copacabana can feel clearer and more buttery, while evening lighting may draw out its mellow, candlelit quality. It suits kitchens, breakfast rooms, and hallways where a light yellow can bring warmth without dominating the room. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, woven textures, or muted terracotta and olive accents for an earthy palette.

LRV of Copacabana
Copacabana has an LRV of 72.78% 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 72.78%, 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.
