What color is Benjamin Moore Simple Pleasures?
Benjamin Moore Simple Pleasures 1097 is a muted golden tan with soft beige and earthy ochre undertones. Its medium-light depth gives walls noticeable color without becoming overly dark, making it especially useful in dining rooms, dens, and entryways that need more warmth than a standard neutral. In bright daylight, Simple Pleasures can read as a sandy camel, while lower or north-facing light may bring out its deeper brown-gold cast. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm putty tones, aged brass, cognac leather, and medium oak for a grounded palette. It also has enough presence for painted cabinetry or an accent wall alongside natural stone and woven textures.

LRV of Simple Pleasures
Simple Pleasures has an LRV of 38.95% 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 38.95%, 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.
