What color is Benjamin Moore Jicama?
Benjamin Moore Jicama AF-315 is a light, sun-warmed beige with a soft creamy cast and a muted hint of golden peach. Its pale value keeps it airy on broad walls, while the warm undertone gives white trim a gentler contrast than a cooler gray-beige would. In bright daylight, Jicama can read as a clean sandy neutral; under warm evening lamps, its creamier side becomes more noticeable. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a low-contrast backdrop is wanted, and it also has enough warmth for painted cabinetry. Pair it with chalky whites, natural oak, woven linen, terracotta pottery, or deeper caramel and olive accents.

LRV of Jicama
Jicama has an LRV of 72.47% 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 72.47%, 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.
