What color is Benjamin Moore Winterwood?
Benjamin Moore Winterwood 1486 is a light, muted gray-beige with a soft yellowed undertone visible beneath its low-saturation surface. Its pale value keeps it from reading heavy, while the slightly earthy cast gives it more warmth than a straightforward cool gray. In bright daylight, Winterwood can appear like a gentle off-white with a weathered gray veil; lower or warmer light brings out its beige-olive influence. It is well suited to living room, bedroom, or hallway walls alongside natural oak, aged brass, linen, and stone finishes. Pair it with creamy whites and deeper charcoal, olive, or brown accents for contrast that respects its quiet, grounded character.

LRV of Winterwood
Winterwood has an LRV of 50.95% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 50.95%, 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.
