What color is Benjamin Moore Crown Point Sand?
Benjamin Moore Crown Point Sand HC-90 is a muted light beige with a noticeable sandy yellow cast and a soft, earthy warmth. Its low-saturation character keeps it from reading overly golden, giving walls a quiet, natural backdrop rather than a strong color statement. In bright daylight, it can appear lighter and more cream-beige, while evening lighting tends to bring out its warmer tan side. Crown Point Sand suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where wood flooring, linen upholstery, aged brass, or woven natural-fiber accents are part of the palette. Pair it with warm whites, medium brown woods, and restrained olive or clay accents for a grounded, layered look.
LRV of Crown Point Sand
Crown Point Sand has an LRV of 52.91% 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 52.91%, 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.
