What color is Benjamin Moore Light Quartz?
Benjamin Moore Light Quartz 2011-70 is a very pale, warm blush with a soft peach cast rather than a stark white appearance. Its high lightness keeps it airy on broad walls, while the pink undertone adds a noticeable wash of color in daylight. In north-facing rooms, Light Quartz may read a little cooler and more powdery; warmer afternoon light brings out its peachier side. It suits bedrooms, nurseries, dressing areas, and powder rooms, especially alongside creamy whites, light oak, natural linen, and brushed brass. For contrast, pair this shade with muted terracotta, dusty rose, or a deep warm brown in textiles and small accents.

What are Benjamin Moore Light Quartz undertones?
Light Quartz is a near-white, very muted warm off-white. The HEX sample has a subtle red bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear red. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Light Quartz
Light Quartz has an LRV of 82.13% and refers to White colors that reflect almost all 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 82.13%, 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.
