What color is Benjamin Moore Shiitake Mushroom?
Benjamin Moore Shiitake Mushroom CSP-1040 is a muted, medium-light tan with a noticeable earthy olive cast. Its softened golden-beige base keeps it warm, while the grayed-down quality prevents it from reading overly yellow. In bright daylight, Shiitake Mushroom can appear like a dusty khaki beige; lower or warmer lighting brings out its deeper mushroom-brown character. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a grounded neutral is wanted, and it can also make painted cabinetry feel substantial without looking dark. Pair it with creamy off-whites, weathered wood, aged brass, charcoal accents, or olive-toned textiles.

LRV of Shiitake Mushroom
Shiitake Mushroom has an LRV of 33.99% 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 33.99%, 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.
