What color is Benjamin Moore August Sunrise?
Benjamin Moore August Sunrise 030 is a light peach-pink with a warm, softly muted cast. Its #EEC2B7 color value suggests a creamy blush base rather than a bright coral or candy pink, giving it gentle presence on broad wall areas. In daylight, August Sunrise can read as a fresh pale peach, while warm artificial lighting may bring out its rosier undertone. It suits bedrooms, powder rooms, and dining spaces where a little color is wanted without a dark or saturated finish. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, natural linen, and clay-toned ceramics, or add contrast through deep olive, muted teal, or charcoal accents.

LRV of August Sunrise
August Sunrise has an LRV of 59.44% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
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 59.44%, 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.
