Benjamin Moore

Lake House

1175

Lake House is an earthy, clay-toned mid-tone with clear undertones of red, orange, and brown that give it a sun-baked quality. Its LRV of 32.61 places it in the lower-medium range, absorbing more light than it reflects. The warm base reads consistently across lighting conditions, though it can shift slightly more orange in incandescent light.

It coordinates well with Golden Straw and Creamy White to manage its depth, while Hale Navy or Hunter Green offer cooler contrast. White Dove works as a clean trim companion.

Lake House 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.
