Benjamin Moore

Myrtle Beach

61

Myrtle Beach is a warm topaz tone with clear orange undertones that place it in the peach-to-terracotta family. Its LRV of 45.62 puts it near the middle of the reflectance scale, bright enough to hold its own on larger surfaces without overwhelming a room. The orange base comes forward in warm lighting and softens under cooler conditions.

It pairs naturally with White Sand and Golden Straw for lighter coordination, while Newburg Green or Hale Navy introduce contrast. Earth tones like Coastal Path or Venetian Portico build out a quieter, layered palette around it.

Myrtle Beach 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.
