About Roman Shade
Roman Shade (1228) is a deep, medium-strength beige from Benjamin Moore that leans peach. With an LRV of 30, Roman Shade absorbs more light than it reflects, so it works best in rooms with good natural light or where you want a cozier feel.
In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Roman Shade's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for bedrooms, offices, accent walls and kitchen cabinets. Next to Frontenac Brick (CC-182), it's cooler and more muted.
