What color is Benjamin Moore Richmond Bisque?
Benjamin Moore Richmond Bisque HC-177 is a light, muted beige with a clear warm cast and soft tan-gold undertones. Its low-contrast, gently earthy appearance can make a room feel lighter without reading stark or icy. In bright daylight, Richmond Bisque may show more of its creamy wheat tone, while evening light can draw out its deeper beige character. Use it on living room, hallway, or bedroom walls alongside warm white trim, natural oak, linen upholstery, and aged brass hardware. For contrast, pair this color with charcoal, deep olive, or a grounded medium brown.

LRV of Richmond Bisque
Richmond Bisque has an LRV of 56.12% 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 56.12%, 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.
