What color is Benjamin Moore Pittsfield Buff?
Benjamin Moore Pittsfield Buff HC-24 is a light, muted buff with a clear warm beige base and a soft golden-yellow cast. Its low-contrast, gently weathered appearance keeps it from reading overly yellow, especially in bright natural light. In rooms with warm bulbs or late-day sun, Pittsfield Buff can take on a richer honeyed tone. It is well suited to living rooms, dining spaces, hallways, and exterior siding where a pale earth color feels more grounded than crisp white. Pair it with creamy off-whites, medium brown woods, aged brass, and muted green or blue-gray accents.

LRV of Pittsfield Buff
Pittsfield Buff has an LRV of 59.74% 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 59.74%, 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.
