What color is Benjamin Moore Soft Marigold?
Benjamin Moore Soft Marigold 160 is a light, sun-warmed golden orange with a clear peachy cast. Its moderate saturation gives it more presence than a neutral cream, while the pale value keeps it from feeling heavy on broad walls. In daylight, this color can read as a soft apricot-gold; under warm evening bulbs, its orange notes are likely to become more noticeable. Soft Marigold suits kitchens, breakfast rooms, play spaces, or a cheerful entryway, and it can also make a distinctive choice for painted cabinetry or an accent wall. Pair it with creamy whites, muted olive greens, warm terracotta, natural oak, woven cane, and brushed brass for a layered, earthy look.
LRV of Soft Marigold
Soft Marigold has an LRV of 53.24% 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 53.24%, 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.
