What color is Benjamin Moore Begonia?
Benjamin Moore Begonia 2083-40 is a medium, muted pink with a noticeable rosy-mauve cast. Its #C27E9A value gives it enough grayness to feel less sugary than a clear bubblegum pink, while still holding a warm, floral presence. In bright daylight, Begonia can read as a softened dusty rose; lower or cooler light may bring forward its slightly plum-like undertone. It makes a characterful choice for a bedroom, powder room, or dining area, especially on all four walls where its mid-tone depth can feel grounded rather than overly sweet. Pair it with warm white trim, soft taupe upholstery, aged brass, walnut, or dark charcoal accents for contrast.

LRV of Begonia
Begonia has an LRV of 29.53% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 29.53%, 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.
