What color is Benjamin Moore Desert Beach?
Benjamin Moore Desert Beach 1104 is a medium warm tan with a noticeable sandy orange-brown cast. Its muted saturation keeps it from reading too yellow, giving walls the grounded look of sun-warmed clay or natural leather. In bright daylight, Desert Beach can show more of its golden warmth, while evening light tends to deepen it toward a richer caramel brown. It suits dining rooms, entryways, and studies where a fuller neutral feels appropriate, and it can also add warmth to kitchen cabinetry. Pair this shade with creamy off-whites, deep olive greens, charcoal accents, and materials such as oak, woven grasscloth, or aged brass.

LRV of Desert Beach
Desert Beach has an LRV of 32.31% and refers to Medium 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 32.31%, 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.
