What color is Benjamin Moore Wicker Basket?
Benjamin Moore Wicker Basket CSP-255 is a muted mid-tone beige with a noticeable weathered taupe cast and soft golden-brown warmth. Its low-saturation character keeps it from reading overly yellow, giving walls a grounded, lightly aged look rather than a creamy one. In bright natural light, this shade can appear like a pale, sun-faded tan, while lower or cooler light brings out more of its gray-brown depth. Wicker Basket suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a quieter neutral is wanted, and it can also make a restrained cabinet color alongside warm white trim. Pair it with linen upholstery, natural oak, aged brass, charcoal accents, or deep olive textiles to reinforce its earthy undertones.

LRV of Wicker Basket
Wicker Basket has an LRV of 37.3% 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 37.3%, 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.
