What color is Benjamin Moore Winthrop Peach?

Benjamin Moore Winthrop Peach HC-55 is a muted peach-beige with a warm, softly clay-like cast. Its medium-light depth gives walls noticeable color without reading overly bright or sugary. In daylight, Winthrop Peach can appear more sun-baked and sandy, while warmer evening light draws out its peachier side. It suits dining rooms, bedrooms, and entryways where a grounded warm neutral feels more appropriate than plain cream. Pair it with soft ivory trim, aged brass, natural oak, linen upholstery, or deep olive accents for contrast.

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 43.21%, 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.
