What color is Benjamin Moore Kitten Whiskers?
Benjamin Moore Kitten Whiskers 1003 is a light, muted beige-gray with a gentle warm cast rather than a crisp white appearance. Its low-saturation color value gives walls a soft, powdery look that can read slightly more beige in warm daylight and quieter gray in cooler or shaded rooms. It suits bedrooms, living areas, and hallways where a pale neutral is wanted without the starkness of bright white. Pair it with creamy trim, natural oak, linen upholstery, and stone or clay-toned accessories to reinforce its understated warmth. On cabinetry, Kitten Whiskers can create a subtle tonal contrast against deeper wood floors or charcoal hardware.

LRV of Kitten Whiskers
Kitten Whiskers has an LRV of 64.69% 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 64.69%, 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.
