What color is Benjamin Moore Northampton Putty?
Benjamin Moore Northampton Putty HC-89 is a muted mid-tone beige with a noticeable earthy yellow-brown cast. Its low-saturation color keeps it from reading overly golden, giving the shade a softened, slightly weathered look rather than a crisp cream appearance. In bright daylight, Northampton Putty can look like a warm khaki beige, while lower or warmer artificial light may bring forward its deeper tan qualities. It suits living rooms, entryways, and cabinetry where a grounded neutral is needed without moving into gray. Pair it with chalky off-whites, aged brass, natural oak, woven fibers, and dark brown accents for a layered, material-focused interior.

LRV of Northampton Putty
Northampton Putty has an LRV of 33.46% and refers to Medium 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 33.46%, 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.
