What color is Benjamin Moore Pashmina?
Benjamin Moore Pashmina AF-100 is a muted, medium-light greige with a clear beige cast and soft gray restraint. Its low-saturation #BBB2A1 tone reads warm without becoming yellow, giving walls a grounded, softly weathered look. In bright daylight, the gray side may appear more apparent, while lower or warmer lighting can bring forward its beige-taupe character. Pashmina suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a gentle neutral is needed, and it also has enough depth for cabinetry or built-ins. Pair it with creamy off-whites, charcoal accents, natural oak, linen, leather, and brushed brass for a layered, material-focused interior.
LRV of Pashmina
Pashmina has an LRV of 44.2% 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 44.2%, 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.
