Benjamin Moore

Guesthouse

1117

Guesthouse is a medium-depth neutral with noticeable orange undertones that contribute warmth and earthiness. With an LRV of 39.7, it reflects a moderate amount of light, making it functional in entryways, hallways, and living spaces without appearing too dark or too bright. The orange cast distinguishes it from cooler taupes and beiges.

This shade pairs naturally with Benjamin Moore White Dove for trim work, Kendall Charcoal for contrast, Shaker Beige in adjacent rooms, and Wedgewood Gray to balance its warmth with a cooler complement.

Guesthouse 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.
