What color is Benjamin Moore Weston Flax?
Benjamin Moore Weston Flax HC-5 is a light, sun-warmed cream with a noticeable golden-yellow cast. Its high lightness keeps it airy on broad walls, while the soft beige influence prevents it from reading like a sharp pastel yellow. In daylight, this shade can show its gentle flax-like warmth; under warmer artificial light, it may appear richer and more buttery. Use Weston Flax in kitchens, breakfast rooms, hallways, or living areas where a pale warm neutral is wanted. Pair it with soft white trim, natural oak, woven fibers, matte black details, or muted olive and clay accents for contrast.

LRV of Weston Flax
Weston Flax has an LRV of 76.45% 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 76.45%, 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.
