What color is Benjamin Moore Sunset Hill?
Benjamin Moore Sunset Hill 1212 is a pale, warm off-white with a soft peach-beige cast. Its light value keeps walls looking open and airy, while the gentle pink warmth prevents it from reading stark or clinical. In bright daylight, Sunset Hill can appear creamy and lightly blush-toned; under warmer evening lamps, its peach undertone becomes more noticeable. It suits bedrooms, dining rooms, and softly lit hallways, especially alongside natural oak, linen upholstery, aged brass, and muted clay accents. For contrast, pair this shade with deeper warm browns, dusty terracotta, or a restrained charcoal.

Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Sunset Hill
Sunset Hill has an LRV of 77.79% 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 77.79%, 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.
