What color is Benjamin Moore Outer Banks?
Benjamin Moore Outer Banks 1206 is a light, muted peach-beige with a clear warmth that keeps it from reading flat or gray. Its soft clay and sandy undertones give walls a gentle sun-warmed cast, especially in rooms with south- or west-facing light. In cooler daylight, Outer Banks can appear more like a subdued buff neutral with a faint blush. It suits bedrooms, dining rooms, and living areas where a pale neutral needs more color than standard cream. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, woven linen, terracotta, or deeper brown accents to reinforce its earthy character.

LRV of Outer Banks
Outer Banks has an LRV of 50.79% 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 50.79%, 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.
