What color is Benjamin Moore Frosted Toffee?
Benjamin Moore Frosted Toffee 988 is a pale, muted beige with a soft creamy cast and a lightly warm, greige-leaning appearance. Its low saturation keeps it from reading overly yellow, making it a quiet option for walls in living rooms, bedrooms, or open-plan spaces. In bright daylight, this color can appear airy and softly off-white, while evening lighting brings out more of its beige warmth. Pair it with crisp white trim for gentle contrast, or combine it with natural oak, linen upholstery, woven textures, and warm gray accents. Frosted Toffee is especially well suited to broad wall areas where a subtle neutral is needed without the starkness of pure white.

What are Benjamin Moore Frosted Toffee undertones?
Frosted Toffee reads as a light, very muted taupe-beige with a soft, low-saturation appearance. In the supplied digital sample, it has a subtle warm orange-beige bias, though that shift is faint rather than a strong or fixed undertone. Benjamin Moore describes it as “a soft, dusty light taupe,” which fits its visibly subdued neutral-beige main family. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its gentle beige warmth, while cool daylight may make it appear a little grayer or more neutral.

LRV of Frosted Toffee
Frosted Toffee has an LRV of 63.86% 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 63.86%, 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.
