What color is Benjamin Moore Dark Linen?
Benjamin Moore Dark Linen 2147-60 is a very light, muted yellow with a soft creamy cast and a faint greenish undertone. Its high lightness keeps it from reading as a strong pastel, giving walls a gentle off-white appearance with more color than plain cream. In bright daylight, Dark Linen can look fresh and lightly sunlit, while lower or warmer lighting may bring out its mellow yellow side. It suits kitchens, breakfast areas, bedrooms, and hallways where a pale color is wanted without the starkness of white. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, woven fibers, and muted olive or dusty blue accents for a grounded palette.

LRV of Dark Linen
Dark Linen has an LRV of 80.2% 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 80.2%, 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.
