What color is Benjamin Moore Northern Cliffs?
Benjamin Moore Northern Cliffs 1536 is a light, muted gray-beige with a soft warm cast and very low saturation. Its understated yellow-taupe influence keeps it from reading like a stark cool gray, while the overall effect remains quiet and neutral. In north-facing rooms, Northern Cliffs may appear more gray and subdued; warmer daylight and incandescent lighting can bring forward its gentle beige side. It is well suited to whole-room walls, especially alongside cream trim, natural oak, linen upholstery, and brushed nickel or aged brass details. For contrast, pair this shade with deeper charcoal, olive-toned greens, or dark brown wood.

LRV of Northern Cliffs
Northern Cliffs has an LRV of 45.53% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 45.53%, 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.
