What color is Benjamin Moore Ipanema?
Benjamin Moore Ipanema AF-245 is a muted, medium-light tan with a clear warm cast and soft rosy-brown undertones. Its #C5A38C color value gives it an earthy, lightly sunbaked appearance rather than a yellow-heavy beige. In bright natural light, Ipanema can read as a gentle sandy neutral, while lower or warmer light brings out more of its dusty peach and clay influence. It suits living room walls, bedrooms, and dining spaces where a grounded neutral is wanted without turning gray. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm wood, linen upholstery, aged brass, or deeper brown accents for a cohesive palette.

LRV of Ipanema
Ipanema has an LRV of 40.02% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 40.02%, 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.
