Beacon Hill Damask
There is more to Benjamin Moore Beacon Hill Damask (HC-2) than the swatch alone: its depth, undertones and setting all shape the final impression. An LRV of 68.0 places it through the middle of the scale, where color and depth can remain visible as the light changes. The manufacturer marks it as a best-selling color, though the most important test is still how it feels in your own room.
