What color is Benjamin Moore Malton?
Benjamin Moore Malton 1073 is a light, softened beige with a clear warm cast and a gentle creaminess in its pale value. The #E7D8BE color value suggests subtle sandy and tan undertones rather than a cool gray base, giving walls a sun-warmed, lightly muted appearance. In bright daylight, Malton can read as an airy buff neutral; under warm lamps, its creamy beige character becomes more noticeable. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and open-plan spaces where a light neutral needs more warmth than off-white. Pair it with natural oak, woven fibers, aged brass, and deeper brown or muted olive accents for contrast without making the room feel stark.

LRV of Malton
Malton has an LRV of 67.07% 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 67.07%, 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.
