What color is Benjamin Moore Prairie Lily?
Benjamin Moore Prairie Lily CC-98 is a medium-depth, clay-like orange with a clear warm red cast. Its muted, earthy character keeps the color from reading overly bright, giving it the look of sunbaked terracotta rather than a sharp pumpkin orange. In strong daylight, Prairie Lily can appear more animated and orange-red, while lower or warmer lighting draws out its grounded brownish depth. It makes a confident choice for a dining room, powder room, front door, or a fireplace wall, and can also bring character to painted cabinetry. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm taupes, natural oak, aged brass, and dark charcoal accents for contrast.

LRV of Prairie Lily
Prairie Lily has an LRV of 20.59% and refers to Medium 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 20.59%, 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.
