What color is Benjamin Moore Authentic Pink?
Benjamin Moore Authentic Pink 2006-60 is a light, softly tinted pink with a clean, powdery appearance. Its high brightness keeps it from feeling heavy, while the gentle rosy cast gives white-based rooms a warmer, more colorful edge. In direct daylight, this shade can appear pale and airy; under warmer lamps, its pink tone is likely to look fuller and more noticeable. It suits a nursery, dressing area, bedroom, or powder room wall, especially when paired with crisp white trim, pale oak, linen, or brushed nickel. Authentic Pink also makes a charming accent on a single door or built-in when the surrounding palette is quiet and neutral.

LRV of Authentic Pink
Authentic Pink has an LRV of 64.11% 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 64.11%, 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.
