About Handmade
Handmade (AF-325) is a light, medium-strength beige from Benjamin Moore that leans yellow. With an LRV of 70, Handmade has visible color without darkening a room much.
In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Handmade'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 Sundial (CC-400); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.
