What color is Benjamin Moore Pistachio Ice Cream?
Benjamin Moore Pistachio Ice Cream CSP-815 is a light, softened neutral with a subtle yellow-green cast beneath its pale gray-beige surface. Its low saturation keeps the color quiet on broad walls, where it can read almost like a warm off-white in strong daylight. In lower or cooler light, the muted olive undertone becomes more noticeable, giving the shade a slightly earthy character. Pistachio Ice Cream suits kitchens, breakfast rooms, and bedrooms paired with creamy whites, natural oak, woven fibers, and aged brass. Use it on walls or cabinetry when you want a gentle color presence without the intensity of a clearer green.

LRV of Pistachio Ice Cream
Pistachio Ice Cream has an LRV of 66.09% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 66.09%, 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.
