What color is Benjamin Moore Harp Strings?
Benjamin Moore Harp Strings 213 is a pale, creamy yellow with a soft golden cast, based on its light #F1E2AF color value. It reads warm and gently sunlit rather than bright or citrusy, with enough beige influence to keep the yellow subdued. In daylight, the color can feel airy and lightly buttery; warmer artificial lighting may bring out its richer golden undertone. Use it on kitchen or breakfast-room walls for a mellow wash of color, or on cabinetry when paired with off-white walls and brushed brass hardware. Natural oak, woven fibers, warm white trim, and muted olive or terracotta accents give Harp Strings a grounded, lived-in look.
LRV of Harp Strings
Harp Strings has an LRV of 71.86% 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 71.86%, 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.
