What color is Benjamin Moore Hidden Cove?
Benjamin Moore Hidden Cove CSP-1030 is a light, muted beige with a soft yellow-tan cast and a subtle grayed quality that keeps it from reading overly creamy. Its low saturation gives walls a quiet, chalky appearance, especially in rooms with natural wood or linen textures. In bright daylight, Hidden Cove can appear closer to a pale sand, while lower or cooler light brings out its more subdued taupe side. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a warm neutral is wanted without a strong golden undertone. Pair it with off-white trim, warm oak, aged brass, charcoal accents, or deep olive textiles for contrast.

LRV of Hidden Cove
Hidden Cove has an LRV of 65.08% 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 65.08%, 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.
