What color is Benjamin Moore Delaware Putty?
Benjamin Moore Delaware Putty 240 is a light, muted beige with a noticeable yellow-beige cast that keeps it warmer than a typical greige. Its soft, low-saturation appearance gives walls a gently aged, plaster-like look rather than a crisp cream finish. In bright daylight, this shade can read as pale wheat or sand, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its deeper putty and golden undertones. It suits living rooms, hallways, and bedrooms where a quiet neutral is wanted without the starkness of white. Pair Delaware Putty with warm white trim, natural oak, linen upholstery, aged brass, and earthy brown or olive accents.

LRV of Delaware Putty
Delaware Putty has an LRV of 63.16% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 63.16%, 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.
