What color is Benjamin Moore Meditation?
Benjamin Moore Meditation AF-395 is a muted khaki-beige with a soft olive cast and a gently warm, weathered appearance. Its medium-light depth gives walls enough presence without making a room feel closed in. In bright daylight, the color can read as a dusty beige with subtle green-gray undertones, while lower or warmer light brings out its earthier, golden side. Meditation suits living rooms, bedrooms, and studies, especially alongside creamy off-whites, aged brass, natural oak, linen, and woven textures. It can also give cabinetry or a painted built-in a grounded alternative to standard gray or beige.

LRV of Meditation
Meditation has an LRV of 36.48% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 36.48%, 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.
