What color is Benjamin Moore Monet?
Benjamin Moore Monet 1243 is a muted, mid-tone rosy beige with a softly weathered look. Its #BFA4A0 value shows a noticeable pink-red cast, tempered by grayish beige undertones that keep it from reading overly sweet. In bright daylight, Monet can appear like a faded blush plaster, while lower or warmer light brings out its earthier, clay-like side. It suits bedrooms, powder rooms, and dining areas where a gentle amount of color is wanted without a strong contrast. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm greige trim, natural oak, linen upholstery, and aged brass for a grounded finish.

LRV of Monet
Monet has an LRV of 39.98% 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 39.98%, 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.
