What color is Benjamin Moore Safari?
Benjamin Moore Safari AF-335 is a light, sun-warmed beige with a clear golden sand cast. Its pale value keeps it airy on broad walls, while the muted yellow-orange undertone prevents it from reading flat or gray. In daylight, Safari can look like soft wheat or bleached tan; under warm lamps, it deepens toward a richer honeyed beige. It suits living rooms, dining areas, and bedrooms where a gentle warmth is wanted without committing to a dark neutral. Pair it with creamy whites, medium wood tones, aged brass, woven natural fibers, or muted terracotta accents.

LRV of Safari
Safari has an LRV of 64.03% 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 64.03%, 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.
