What color is Benjamin Moore Toasted Almond?
Benjamin Moore Toasted Almond 1098 is a medium, muted golden tan with a noticeably warm brown base. Its low-key ochre cast gives walls more presence than a pale beige while keeping the overall look grounded rather than bright. Toasted Almond suits dining rooms, studies, and living areas where natural wood, leather, and woven textures are part of the scheme. Pair it with creamy off-whites for trim, deep olive greens, or charcoal accents to give its warmth some contrast. On cabinetry or a painted accent wall, this shade can create a substantial, earthy focal point without reading overly dark.

LRV of Toasted Almond
Toasted Almond has an LRV of 31.79% 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 31.79%, 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.
