What color is Benjamin Moore Old World?
Benjamin Moore Old World 2011-40 is a clear, mid-tone coral pink with a noticeable peachy cast. Its warmth makes it especially lively in daylight, where the color reads fresh and sunlit rather than dusty or muted. In lower light, Old World can take on a softer salmon appearance while retaining its cheerful presence. Use it on a powder room wall, a painted dresser, or a dining-area accent for a concentrated hit of color. Crisp white trim, pale oak, warm brass, and creamy off-whites give this shade a clean, well-grounded setting.
LRV of Old World
Old World has an LRV of 44.43% 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 44.43%, 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.
