What color is Benjamin Moore Amber Winds?
Benjamin Moore Amber Winds 073 is a light, sun-warmed peach with a clear rosy coral cast. Its soft brightness keeps the color from feeling heavy, while the orange-pink undertone gives it more presence than a typical cream or blush. In direct daylight, Amber Winds can read as a fresh apricot-peach; under warmer lamps, it deepens toward a gentler salmon tone. It suits powder rooms, breakfast nooks, children’s rooms, or a single accent wall where a warm wash of color is welcome. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, woven rattan, and muted clay or terracotta details for a cohesive palette.

Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.

The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 56.56%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
