What color is Benjamin Moore Creamy Custard?
Benjamin Moore Creamy Custard 1145 is a warm, medium-light golden beige with a softly muted, earthy cast. Its #D5AE83 value suggests noticeable yellow and tan undertones rather than a pale, buttery cream, giving it enough depth to read clearly on a full wall. In bright daylight, it can appear sunnier and more honeyed, while lower or warmer light brings out its mellow camel-beige side. Use it in dining rooms, hallways, or kitchens where warm wood, aged brass, terracotta, and woven natural fibers are part of the palette. Creamy Custard also suits cabinetry or an accent wall when paired with off-white trim and grounded by deep brown, charcoal, or olive details.

LRV of Creamy Custard
Creamy Custard has an LRV of 44.9% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 44.9%, 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.
