Benjamin Moore

Splendor

AF-385

Splendor is a warm neutral with an LRV of 50.33, sitting at the midpoint of the reflectance scale. It carries discernible yellow undertones layered over a beige base, which prevents it from reading as a flat tan and gives it a slightly golden cast in warm lighting. In cooler light, the yellow recedes and the beige comes forward.

It pairs naturally with Manchester Tan and Shaker Beige for a layered warm-neutral scheme, while Hale Navy provides strong tonal contrast, and Simply White keeps adjacent trim from competing with the wall color.

Splendor 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.
