What color is Benjamin Moore Jasper Opal?
Benjamin Moore Jasper Opal 387 is a light, creamy yellow with a soft, mellow cast rather than a sharp citrus brightness. Its #F3EDC1 color value gives it a pale butter-yellow appearance, with enough warmth to keep white-heavy rooms from feeling stark. In bright daylight, Jasper Opal can look airy and lightly sunwashed, while evening lighting may bring out its richer cream notes. It suits kitchen walls, breakfast nooks, mudrooms, and bedrooms where a gentle wash of color is wanted without adding much visual weight. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, woven cane, or muted sage and dusty blue accents for a grounded palette.

LRV of Jasper Opal
Jasper Opal has an LRV of 80.53% and refers to Off‑White 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 80.53%, 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.
