What color is Benjamin Moore Evening Gown?
Benjamin Moore Evening Gown CSP-375 is a muted light taupe with a warm, softly weathered cast. Its gray-beige base is tempered by subtle rosy and tan undertones, giving it more character than a standard neutral without reading overtly pink. In daylight, this shade can appear like pale putty, while warmer evening lighting draws out its beige warmth. Use it on bedroom or living room walls for a quiet, low-contrast backdrop, or on cabinetry paired with creamy white walls. Natural oak, linen upholstery, aged brass, charcoal accents, and dusty blue-gray textiles all complement its restrained warmth.

What are Benjamin Moore Evening Gown undertones?
Evening Gown is a mid-light, very muted muted beige. The HEX sample has a subtle yellow-orange bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear yellow-orange. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Evening Gown
Evening Gown has an LRV of 40.91% 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 40.91%, 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.
