What color is Benjamin Moore Fossil?
Benjamin Moore Fossil AF-65 is a light, muted neutral with a soft beige cast and a gentle grayed quality that keeps it from reading overly creamy. Its pale value makes it a useful wall color for rooms that need brightness without the sharper look of a clean white. In warm artificial light, Fossil can appear more softly beige, while cooler daylight brings out its quiet stone-like neutrality. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and whole-home wall applications, especially alongside natural oak, linen upholstery, warm white trim, and brushed brass. For contrast, pair this color with deeper mushroom tones, charcoal accents, or dark stained wood.

LRV of Fossil
Fossil has an LRV of 71.59% 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 71.59%, 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.
