What color is Benjamin Moore Everlasting?
Benjamin Moore Everlasting 1038 is a light, muted beige with a noticeable warm cast and soft tan-gold undertones. Its low saturation keeps it from reading too yellow, giving walls a gently weathered, natural look rather than a crisp cream finish. In bright daylight, this shade can appear pale and sandy; under warm artificial light, its beige warmth becomes more apparent. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a quiet neutral backdrop is wanted, especially alongside oak, linen, woven fibers, and aged brass. Pair Everlasting with off-white trim, deeper camel accents, or muted olive and clay tones for a grounded palette.
LRV of Everlasting
Everlasting has an LRV of 60.66% 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 60.66%, 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.
