What color is Benjamin Moore Wild Rice?

Benjamin Moore Wild Rice 2097-70 is a very pale, softly muted pink-beige with a gentle gray cast that keeps it from reading sugary. Its light value makes it a useful wall color for bedrooms, powder rooms, and softly layered living spaces where white feels too stark. In daylight, Wild Rice can look like a barely-there blush neutral; under warm evening bulbs, its rosy beige side becomes more noticeable. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm greige trim, pale oak, linen upholstery, and brushed brass for a cohesive palette. It is best suited to broad wall surfaces or ceilings, where its subtle color can be appreciated rather than lost among stronger accents.

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 75.47%, 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.
