Heirloom

Benjamin Moore · 023

The Analysis

Heirloom is a soft, warm peach-toned neutral that brightens a room significantly due to its high LRV of 72.65. Because it reflects a large amount of light, it effectively makes smaller or darker spaces feel more open and airy without the clinical feel of a stark white.

This is an excellent main wall colour for living areas or bedrooms where you want a hint of warmth rather than a flat neutral. It serves as a subtle, friendly backdrop that allows furniture and art to take center stage without competing for attention.

LRV 73

History & Origin

This shade leans into the refreshed, modern take on classic warm neutrals often found in updated Heritage interiors. It avoids the dated feel of heavy 1980s peach by keeping the saturation low and the tone sophisticated.

How to Use It

Pair this with light-to-medium oak wood tones and brushed brass hardware to enhance its warm undertones. It also works well with matte black accents if you want to ground the space and add a contemporary edge.

The Mood

Living with this colour feels balanced and approachable, providing a gentle warmth that prevents a space from feeling cold. It is an energizing but steady shade, making it a reliable choice for areas where you want a welcoming atmosphere that isn't overly dramatic.

Colour harmonies

Complementary

Opposite on the colour wheel — bold, high-contrast pairings. Use for a feature wall or furniture you want to command attention.

Analogous

Neighbouring hues — cohesive and calm, great for layered schemes that feel collected rather than matched.

Split complementary

Near-opposites for strong contrast with a little less tension than a pure complement. A favourite of interior designers.

Triadic

Three evenly spaced hues — balanced, vibrant, and versatile. Keep one dominant and use the others sparingly.

Tetradic (square)

Four hues in a square on the wheel — rich, dynamic palettes. Best when one colour leads and the others accent.

Monochromatic

Dark, mid, and light steps on the same hue — a failsafe gradient for trim, walls, and accents without shifting colour family.
