What color is Benjamin Moore Muslin?
Benjamin Moore Muslin OC-12 is a light, softly muted beige with a warm cream-and-tan cast. Its #E1D6C1 color value keeps it pale enough for broad wall coverage while giving it more substance than a bright white. In daylight, Muslin can read as a gentle sandy neutral; under warmer bulbs, its beige and subtle golden notes become more apparent. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where natural wood, woven fibers, linen upholstery, or aged brass are part of the palette. Pair it with warm white trim, medium oak, muted olive, or deeper brown accents for a grounded, layered interior.

What are Benjamin Moore Muslin undertones?
Muslin OC-12 reads as a light, muted off-white with a soft yellow-beige cast and low color intensity. Its undertone is best described as a relative yellow warmth, rather than a strong or separate color note. Benjamin Moore describes it as a “warm, welcoming neutral,” which fits its visibly yellow-leaning off-white character. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its creamy warmth, while cool daylight can make it appear a little more neutral.

Lighter shades
Darker shades
Complementary color scheme
This color scheme is a combination of two shades that are opposite each other on the color wheel. The high contrast between these colors creates a vibrant and dynamic visual effect. For the color Muslin with a orange hue, complementary colors are those with a blue hue close to 219, such as Benjamin Moore Normandy and Feather Gray.
LRV of Muslin
Muslin has an LRV of 66.54% 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 66.54%, 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.
