What color is Benjamin Moore Italianate?

Benjamin Moore Italianate AF-215 is a muted clay-toned brown with a noticeable peachy terracotta cast. Its medium depth keeps it grounded on walls, while the softened saturation prevents it from reading overly orange. In bright daylight, Italianate can show more of its warm, sunbaked peach character; under lower or warmer lighting, it settles into a richer earthen brown. It suits dining rooms, powder rooms, and entryways where a warmer wall color can add definition without becoming too dark. Pair it with creamy off-whites, weathered oak, aged brass, natural linen, and deep olive or charcoal accents.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 36.46%, 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.
