What color is Benjamin Moore Squire Hill Buff?
Benjamin Moore Squire Hill Buff 1068 is a light, muted buff with a creamy beige base and a noticeable golden-tan cast. Its soft warmth keeps it from reading flat or gray, while the restrained saturation gives walls a gently aged, plaster-like appearance rather than a bright yellow look. In direct daylight, this color can appear lighter and more sand-toned; under warm evening bulbs, its beige and honey notes become more apparent. It suits living rooms, hallways, and bedrooms where a warm neutral is wanted without the weight of a deeper tan. Pair Squire Hill Buff with off-white trim, medium walnut, woven natural fibers, and accents in olive, rust, or soft charcoal.
LRV of Squire Hill Buff
Squire Hill Buff has an LRV of 55.73% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 55.73%, 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.
