What color is Benjamin Moore Interlude?
Benjamin Moore Interlude AF-135 is a muted mid-tone beige with a warm taupe cast and a noticeable earthy brown base. Its softened, low-saturation look keeps it from reading overly yellow, while the hint of warmth prevents it from feeling gray or flat. In bright daylight, Interlude can appear like a light sand-toned neutral; under warmer lamps, its tan and subtle clay-like notes become more apparent. It is especially well suited to living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a grounded neutral is wanted without the starkness of off-white. Pair it with creamy trim, weathered oak, linen upholstery, charcoal accents, or deep olive details for a layered, natural-looking palette.

LRV of Interlude
Interlude has an LRV of 37.61% 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 37.61%, 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.
