What color is Benjamin Moore Picket Fence?

Benjamin Moore Picket Fence CSP-370 is a light, muted off-white with a soft gray-beige cast. Its low-saturation appearance keeps it from reading crisp or stark, giving walls a gently weathered, chalky look. In brighter daylight, this color can appear closer to a pale warm gray, while warmer artificial light may draw out its subtle beige side. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and painted trim where a quieter alternative to bright white is wanted. Pair Picket Fence with natural oak, linen upholstery, aged brass, charcoal accents, or deeper mushroom-toned neutrals.

LRV of Picket Fence

Picket Fence has an LRV of 62.89% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 62.89%, 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.
