What color is Benjamin Moore Gentle Repose?
Benjamin Moore Gentle Repose 1149 is a light, warm off-white with a creamy beige base and a soft peachy cast. Its high lightness keeps walls airy, while the muted warmth prevents it from reading stark or icy. In bright daylight, Gentle Repose looks like a delicate warm cream; under incandescent lighting, its beige-peach undertones become more noticeable. It suits bedrooms, living rooms, and hallways where a gentle backdrop is preferred over a crisp white. Pair it with natural oak, linen upholstery, muted terracotta, or deeper brown accents for a grounded, softly layered interior.

LRV of Gentle Repose
Gentle Repose has an LRV of 74.2% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of 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 74.2%, 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.
