What color is Benjamin Moore Norfolk Cream?
Benjamin Moore Norfolk Cream 261 is a pale, softened yellow with a creamy beige cast that keeps it from reading too bright. Its light value gives walls an open, gently warmed look, while the muted color keeps the effect subtle rather than sunny or bold. In north-facing rooms, Norfolk Cream may appear more beige and restrained; warmer daylight and incandescent lighting bring out its yellow-cream side. It suits living rooms, hallways, bedrooms, and kitchens where a light neutral with more warmth than plain white is wanted. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, aged brass, woven textures, and grounded accents in olive, clay, or medium brown.

LRV of Norfolk Cream
Norfolk Cream has an LRV of 73.08% 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 73.08%, 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.
