What color is Benjamin Moore Heirloom?
Benjamin Moore Heirloom 023 is a light, creamy peach with a soft blush-pink cast. Its #F5D8C7 color value gives it clear warmth without making it feel overly saturated, so it reads more like a tinted neutral than a bright pastel. Use it on bedroom, nursery, or powder room walls where its gentle apricot tone can soften white trim and natural daylight. Pair Heirloom with warm ivory, pale oak, woven cane, and muted terracotta accents for a cohesive look. It can also bring a subtle rosy warmth to cabinetry or an accent wall when surrounded by quieter neutrals.

LRV of Heirloom
Heirloom has an LRV of 71.02% 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 71.02%, 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.
