Benjamin Moore

Alpaca

1074 / AC-4

Alpaca by Benjamin Moore is a warm, powdery beige neutral with soft yellow-tan undertones. Its LRV of 58.73 puts it in the mid-light range, providing enough warmth to feel grounded without darkening a room. It works well in living rooms, hallways, and bedrooms where a quiet background color is needed.

Alpaca pairs naturally with Benjamin Moore White Dove for trim, and sits comfortably alongside Edgecomb Gray, Revere Pewter, Sea Pearl, and Hale Navy when building a layered neutral-to-deep palette.

Alpaca in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
