What color is Benjamin Moore Pernod?
Benjamin Moore Pernod 316 is a pale, creamy yellow with a soft butter-like cast and very light depth. Its gentle warmth can make north-facing rooms feel less stark, while brighter daylight brings out its clean, sunny side. Use it on kitchen walls, a breakfast nook, or a softly colored ceiling where a white might feel too sharp. Pernod pairs well with warm white trim, natural oak, woven textures, and muted sage or dusty blue accents. Because it is so light, this shade reads best across larger wall areas rather than as a high-contrast accent.

LRV of Pernod
Pernod has an LRV of 83.07% and refers to White colors that reflect almost all 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 83.07%, 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.
