What color is Benjamin Moore Moccasin?
Benjamin Moore Moccasin 1059 is a light, muted beige with a noticeable warm cast drawn from its soft tan and creamy yellow-brown base. Its low-to-medium saturation keeps it from reading overly golden, giving walls a gentle, sun-warmed appearance instead. In bright daylight, Moccasin can look airy and pale, while evening lighting brings out more of its biscuit-like warmth. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, halls, and dining areas where a quiet neutral is needed without shifting to gray. Pair it with ivory trim, medium wood furniture, woven natural fibers, and earthy brown or olive accents for a grounded palette.

LRV of Moccasin
Moccasin has an LRV of 61.61% 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 61.61%, 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.
