What color is Benjamin Moore Natural Beech?
Benjamin Moore Natural Beech 253 is a pale, creamy beige with a clear soft-yellow cast that keeps it noticeably warm without becoming bright. Its light value gives walls an open, gently sunlit appearance, especially in rooms with southern or western exposure. In cooler north-facing light, the yellow undertone may read more muted, leaning toward a quiet parchment-like neutral. Natural Beech suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a light neutral is wanted but plain white feels too stark. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, woven linen, and muted olive or clay accents for a grounded palette.

LRV of Natural Beech
Natural Beech has an LRV of 75.14% 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 75.14%, 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.
