What color is Benjamin Moore Guesthouse?
Benjamin Moore Guesthouse 1117 is a warm, mid-tone tan with a soft golden-beige cast. Its muted saturation keeps it from reading overly yellow, while the brown undertone gives it enough weight for larger wall areas. In bright daylight, Guesthouse can appear lighter and more honeyed; under warmer artificial lighting, it settles into a richer camel-tan. It suits dining rooms, halls, and living spaces where a grounded neutral is wanted without the coolness of gray-based beige. Pair it with creamy off-whites, deep olive greens, aged brass, walnut wood, and natural linen for a layered, earthy interior.

LRV of Guesthouse
Guesthouse has an LRV of 39.7% and refers to Medium 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 39.7%, 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.
