What color is Benjamin Moore Secluded Beach?
Benjamin Moore Secluded Beach 899 is a pale, sun-warmed cream with noticeable peachy beige undertones. Its high lightness keeps walls airy, while the soft warmth prevents it from reading as a stark white. In bright daylight, Secluded Beach can appear lightly creamy and fresh; under incandescent or evening lighting, its golden-peach cast becomes more apparent. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a gentle neutral is wanted, and it also makes a pleasing choice for cabinetry paired with warm white trim. Try it alongside natural oak, woven fibers, terracotta accents, or muted olive and dusty blue textiles for contrast.

LRV of Secluded Beach
Secluded Beach has an LRV of 74.29% and refers to Off‑White 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 74.29%, 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.
