What color is Benjamin Moore Dunmore Cream?
Benjamin Moore Dunmore Cream HC-29 is a muted golden beige with a soft, earthy cast rather than a bright buttery cream look. Its #DECEA6 color value gives it noticeable warmth, with gentle yellow and tan undertones that can read slightly more golden in direct sun. In lower or cooler light, Dunmore Cream tends to settle into a quieter beige that still keeps the room from feeling gray. It is well suited to living rooms, halls, and bedrooms where a warm neutral is wanted on the walls, and it can also give cabinetry a mellow, painted finish. Pair it with off-white trim, medium brown wood, aged brass, natural linen, or deep olive and charcoal accents for contrast.

LRV of Dunmore Cream
Dunmore Cream has an LRV of 59.79% 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 59.79%, 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.
