What color is Benjamin Moore Old Fashioned Peach?
Benjamin Moore Old Fashioned Peach OC-79 is a light, creamy peach with a soft warmth that reads more subtle than sugary. Its pale orange-beige cast can look gently peachy in warm afternoon light, while cooler daylight may bring forward its muted cream base. Use it on bedroom, nursery, or dining room walls where a low-contrast wash of color is wanted without making the room feel overly bright. Old Fashioned Peach pairs naturally with warm white trim, light oak, woven natural fibers, and clay or terracotta accents. For contrast, add dusty blue-gray textiles or deep olive details to keep the palette grounded.

LRV of Old Fashioned Peach
Old Fashioned Peach has an LRV of 75.98% 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 75.98%, 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.
