What color is Benjamin Moore Limestone?
Benjamin Moore Limestone 513 is a light, muted beige with a soft yellow-gray cast that keeps it from reading overly creamy. Its pale value gives walls an airy look, while the subdued warmth adds more depth than a plain off-white. In bright daylight, Limestone can appear gently sun-washed and neutral; under warmer lamps, its beige-gold undertone becomes more noticeable. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a quiet neutral backdrop is wanted, especially alongside natural oak, woven linen, aged brass, and stone or clay accents. Pair it with soft whites for a layered light palette or deeper olive, charcoal, and brown details for contrast.

LRV of Limestone
Limestone has an LRV of 65.87% 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 65.87%, 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.
