What color is Benjamin Moore Make Believe?
Benjamin Moore Make Believe CSP-1035 is a light, muted beige with a noticeable warm cast and a softly weathered look. Its blend of creamy tan and subtle khaki-gray undertones keeps it from reading too yellow, giving walls a grounded, low-contrast presence. In bright natural light, Make Believe can appear lighter and more parchment-like, while evening light may bring out its warmer beige side. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where white trim would feel too stark, and it also has enough depth for cabinetry in a softly layered kitchen. Pair it with warm white, natural oak, woven linen, aged brass, and charcoal or deep olive accents for definition.

LRV of Make Believe
Make Believe has an LRV of 51.99% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 51.99%, 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.
