What color is Benjamin Moore Wheatberry?
Benjamin Moore Wheatberry 2099-70 is a very light, muted off-white with a gentle warm blush-beige cast. Its high lightness keeps walls bright without reading as stark white, while the subtle rosy warmth gives it more color than a plain cream. In daylight, Wheatberry can appear softly pinked ivory; under warmer evening bulbs, its beige notes become more noticeable. Use it in bedrooms, living rooms, or hallways where a pale wall color with a little warmth is wanted. Pair it with natural oak, linen upholstery, warm white trim, and accents in dusty rose, clay, or soft brown.

LRV of Wheatberry
Wheatberry has an LRV of 74.72% 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 74.72%, 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.
