What color is Benjamin Moore Mystic Beige?
Benjamin Moore Mystic Beige 2162-60 is a light, warm beige with a soft creamy cast and a subtle peach-pink undertone visible in its #ECDCC5 color value. It reads gently sunlit rather than gray, giving walls a pale, lightly colored finish without looking stark. In bright daylight, Mystic Beige can appear airy and creamier; lower or warmer evening light may bring out more of its rosy warmth. It suits bedrooms, living rooms, and hallways where a quiet warm neutral is wanted, especially alongside ivory trim, pale oak, linen upholstery, and brushed brass. For contrast, pair this shade with muted olive, dusty blue, or deeper warm brown accents.

LRV of Mystic Beige
Mystic Beige has an LRV of 72.89% and refers to Off‑White 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 72.89%, 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.
