What color is Benjamin Moore Nutmeg?
Benjamin Moore Nutmeg 1227 is a muted, medium-light tan with a clear warm cast and a softly earthy look. Its color value suggests a blend of beige, clay, and subdued peach-brown notes rather than a sharp yellow or gray neutral. In bright daylight, Nutmeg can read lighter and more sand-toned, while lower or warmer artificial light brings forward its gentle terracotta influence. It is well suited to living room, bedroom, or hallway walls where a deeper alternative to cream is wanted without moving into dark brown. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, linen upholstery, aged brass, and terracotta or muted olive accents for a grounded palette.

LRV of Nutmeg
Nutmeg has an LRV of 37.01% 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 37.01%, 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.
