What color is Benjamin Moore Shelburne Buff?
Benjamin Moore Shelburne Buff HC-28 is a muted golden beige with a noticeable warm, wheat-like cast. Its medium-light depth gives walls more presence than a pale cream while staying soft enough for broad, open rooms. In north-facing light, the beige body can appear a little quieter and more subdued; warmer afternoon light draws out its honeyed yellow undertone. Shelburne Buff suits living rooms, hallways, and dining spaces, particularly alongside off-white trim, aged brass, oak, leather, and natural linen. For contrast, pair this shade with deep olive, charcoal, or a restrained navy rather than icy blue-grays.

LRV of Shelburne Buff
Shelburne Buff has an LRV of 47.16% 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 47.16%, 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.
