What color is Benjamin Moore Moon Shadow?
Benjamin Moore Moon Shadow 1516 is a light, muted beige with a noticeable khaki-olive cast that keeps it from reading as a plain cream. Its low saturation gives walls a softened, slightly weathered look rather than a crisp or sugary warmth. In bright daylight, Moon Shadow can show more of its pale yellow-beige side, while lower or cooler light brings forward its gray-green undertone. It suits bedrooms, living rooms, and hallways where a quiet neutral with more character than standard beige is wanted. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, aged brass, linen upholstery, or deeper olive and charcoal accents.

LRV of Moon Shadow
Moon Shadow has an LRV of 56.97% 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 56.97%, 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.
