What color is Benjamin Moore Somerset Peach?
Benjamin Moore Somerset Peach 163 is a very light, creamy peach with a clear warm golden cast. Its soft, low-saturation appearance keeps it closer to a pale sun-warmed neutral than a noticeably pink peach. In bright daylight, this color can read airy and buttery, while evening or warm artificial light brings its peach notes forward. It suits bedrooms, breakfast nooks, and living-room walls where a gentle warmth is wanted without the weight of a deeper color. Pair Somerset Peach with soft white trim, light oak, woven natural fibers, or muted clay and olive accents for a grounded palette.

LRV of Somerset Peach
Somerset Peach has an LRV of 75.54% and refers to Off‑White 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 75.54%, 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.
