What color is Benjamin Moore Spring Morning?

Benjamin Moore Spring Morning 263 is a light, muted yellow-beige with a soft khaki cast that keeps it from reading sugary or overly golden. Its low saturation gives walls a gently weathered, natural look, especially in rooms with wood floors, woven shades, or linen upholstery. In bright daylight, Spring Morning can appear more creamy and sunlit, while lower or cooler light brings forward its subtle olive-beige undertone. It is well suited to living rooms, breakfast areas, and bedrooms where a warm neutral is wanted without the pinkness of many beiges. Pair it with warm white trim, aged brass, medium oak, and earthy greens or dusty blue accents.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 60.12%, 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.
