What color is Benjamin Moore Sandalwood?
Benjamin Moore Sandalwood 273 is a muted golden tan with an earthy, yellow-brown cast and a gently weathered look. Its medium depth keeps it from reading like a pale beige, while its softened saturation prevents it from becoming overly mustard or orange. In bright daylight, Sandalwood can show more of its warm ochre character; under warmer lamps, it settles into a deeper, more grounded tan. It is well suited to dining rooms, studies, and entryways, as well as cabinetry or a single accent wall where its color has room to register. Pair it with creamy off-whites, deep olive greens, charcoal, aged brass, walnut, and natural linen for a layered, material-rich palette.

LRV of Sandalwood
Sandalwood has an LRV of 33.34% 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 33.34%, 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.
