What color is Benjamin Moore Heartsmere?
Benjamin Moore Heartsmere 1114 is a light, creamy beige with a noticeable warm golden cast. Its soft peach-beige undertone keeps it from reading stark or gray, giving walls a gentle, sunlit appearance. In bright daylight, Heartsmere can look pale and buttery, while evening lighting brings out its deeper biscuit-like warmth. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and dining areas where crisp white may feel too sharp. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, woven fibers, and muted clay or olive accents for a grounded palette.

LRV of Heartsmere
Heartsmere has an LRV of 70.2% 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 70.2%, 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.
