What color is Benjamin Moore Point Pleasant?
Benjamin Moore Point Pleasant 155 is a very light creamy beige with a soft yellow-gold cast that keeps it noticeably warm. Its pale, low-saturation appearance can read almost ivory in bright daylight, while evening light brings out more of its buttery beige character. This shade is well suited to living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a gentle alternative to plain white is wanted. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, woven linen, and muted clay or olive accents for a grounded palette. On cabinetry, Point Pleasant can give a kitchen or built-in a light, lightly aged cream look rather than a crisp white finish.

LRV of Point Pleasant
Point Pleasant has an LRV of 78.17% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of 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 78.17%, 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.
