What color is Benjamin Moore Indian River?
Benjamin Moore Indian River 985 is a muted, mid-tone taupe with a warm beige base and a soft, weathered gray cast. Its low saturation keeps the color grounded rather than yellow, giving it an earthy, slightly stone-like appearance on broad walls. In brighter daylight, Indian River can read as a dusty beige, while lower or cooler light brings out more of its subdued gray-brown side. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a deeper neutral is wanted without the weight of a dark brown. Pair it with creamy off-whites, charcoal accents, aged brass, natural oak, and linen or leather textures.

LRV of Indian River
Indian River has an LRV of 36.66% 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 36.66%, 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.
