What color is Benjamin Moore Key West Ivory?
Benjamin Moore Key West Ivory 192 is a light, warm cream with a noticeable golden-beige cast and a soft touch of peach. Its pale value keeps it airy on broad walls, while the warm pigment gives it more presence than a plain off-white. In bright daylight, Key West Ivory reads as a sunlit ivory; under warmer evening bulbs, its beige and peach undertones become more apparent. It suits living rooms, dining areas, and bedrooms that need warmth without moving into a deeper tan. Pair it with crisp white trim, honey-toned wood, woven natural fibers, or muted olive and dusty blue accents for contrast.

LRV of Key West Ivory
Key West Ivory has an LRV of 65.68% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 65.68%, 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.
