What color is Benjamin Moore Luminaire?
Benjamin Moore Luminaire 374 is a pale, creamy yellow with a soft beige cast that keeps it from reading overly bright. Its light value gives walls a gentle glow, especially in rooms with morning or afternoon sun. In cooler north-facing light, Luminaire may appear more muted and parchment-like, while warm bulbs bring forward its buttery warmth. It suits kitchens, breakfast rooms, nurseries, and hallways where a quiet dose of color feels more interesting than plain off-white. Pair it with warm white trim, honey-toned woods, aged brass, or muted blue-green accents for a grounded contrast.

LRV of Luminaire
Luminaire has an LRV of 71.8% 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 71.8%, 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.
