What color is Benjamin Moore Gallery Buff?
Benjamin Moore Gallery Buff CSP-225 is a muted, mid-light beige with a softly weathered cast that keeps it from reading overly creamy or yellow. Its warm taupe-gray undertone gives the color a grounded, low-saturation appearance, especially alongside crisp white trim. In bright daylight, Gallery Buff can look lighter and more sand-toned, while evening light tends to bring out its quieter gray-beige side. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a restrained neutral is wanted without the starkness of pale gray. Pair it with off-white linens, natural oak, aged brass, charcoal accents, or stone finishes for a layered, natural-looking palette.

LRV of Gallery Buff
Gallery Buff has an LRV of 46.22% 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 46.22%, 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.
