What color is Benjamin Moore Milk Shake?
Benjamin Moore Milk Shake 1165 is a light, muted beige with a noticeable rosy-peach cast. Its warmth is soft rather than golden, giving walls a gently flushed look that can read as pale blush in bright daylight and more earthy beige under warm evening lamps. The restrained saturation keeps it from feeling overly pink, making it especially suited to bedrooms, dressing areas, and living rooms that need warmth without strong color contrast. Pair Milk Shake with creamy off-whites, medium warm woods, aged brass, and clay or cinnamon-toned textiles. It can also bring a quiet touch of color to cabinetry or a powder room when balanced by crisp white trim.

LRV of Milk Shake
Milk Shake has an LRV of 55.57% 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 55.57%, 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.
