What color is Benjamin Moore Shaker Beige?
Benjamin Moore Shaker Beige HC-45 is a light, muted beige with a noticeable warm tan cast. Its #D1C2A7 color value gives it a softened, low-saturation appearance rather than a crisp cream or a deep brown. In bright natural light, this shade reads as a pale sandy neutral, while lower light can make its beige depth feel a little more pronounced. It suits living rooms, halls, bedrooms, and exterior siding where a gentle, grounded wall color is wanted. Pair Shaker Beige with off-white trim, natural oak, linen upholstery, aged brass, or charcoal accents for contrast.

LRV of Shaker Beige
Shaker Beige has an LRV of 53.53% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 53.53%, 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.
