What color is Benjamin Moore Powell Buff?
Benjamin Moore Powell Buff HC-35 is a light, muted buff with a clear warm golden-beige cast. Its softened, low-saturation look keeps it from reading overly yellow, giving walls a gentle aged-plaster or natural linen effect. In bright daylight, Powell Buff can appear creamier and more open, while lower light brings out its deeper tan-beige side. It suits living rooms, dining rooms, halls, and bedrooms where a warm neutral is wanted without a stark white backdrop. Pair this shade with ivory trim, honeyed woods, woven natural fibers, and earthy accents in clay, olive, or soft brown.

LRV of Powell Buff
Powell Buff has an LRV of 59.43% 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 59.43%, 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.
