About Beach Haven
Beach Haven (218) is a very light beige from Benjamin Moore with a warm yellow undertone. With an LRV of 80, Beach Haven reflects most of the light that hits it, which helps small or dim rooms feel larger.
In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Beach Haven's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for open-plan living areas, hallways, living rooms and bedrooms. It's very close to Simply Irresistible (205); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.
