What color is Benjamin Moore Spiced Apple Cider?
Benjamin Moore Spiced Apple Cider 1201 is a muted, medium-depth clay pink with warm red-orange and soft brown undertones. Its dusty quality keeps the color from reading overly sweet, giving it a grounded look on dining room, bedroom, or powder room walls. In bright daylight, Spiced Apple Cider can appear like softened terracotta, while warmer evening light draws out its deeper rosy-cinnamon cast. Pair it with creamy off-whites, weathered wood, tan leather, matte black hardware, or olive-green accents for a layered palette. It also has enough presence for a painted cabinet, interior door, or small accent wall.

LRV of Spiced Apple Cider
Spiced Apple Cider has an LRV of 26.56% 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 26.56%, 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.
