What color is Benjamin Moore Warm Sunglow?

Benjamin Moore Warm Sunglow CSP-1070 is a medium warm tan with a noticeable orange-brown cast, similar to sunbaked clay softened with cream. Its muted saturation keeps it from reading as bright peach or gold, giving it enough depth for full-room walls without overwhelming a space. In daylight, Warm Sunglow can appear sandy and lightly coppery, while evening light tends to bring out its richer caramel undertones. It suits dining rooms, entryways, kitchens, and covered exterior details where a grounded, earth-toned color feels appropriate. Pair it with warm whites, deep espresso wood, aged brass, natural linen, or muted olive accents for a layered, material-focused look.

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 35.64%, 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.
