What color is Benjamin Moore Crossroads?
Benjamin Moore Crossroads 1226 is a light, muted beige with a noticeable rosy-peach cast that keeps it from reading flat or gray. Its warm, softened color makes a room feel gently sunlit, especially in spaces with natural wood, linen, rattan, or aged brass. In bright daylight, Crossroads can show more of its pale blush-beige character, while lower or warmer evening light brings out its earthy clay undertone. It is well suited to bedroom, living room, and hallway walls where a quiet warm neutral is wanted without moving fully into tan. Pair it with creamy white trim, warm taupe textiles, terracotta accents, or medium oak for a grounded, cohesive finish.

LRV of Crossroads
Crossroads has an LRV of 54% 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 54%, 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.
