What color is Benjamin Moore Bird of Paradise?
Benjamin Moore Bird of Paradise 1305 is a warm, mid-tone coral with a clear rosy-red cast. Its #E66F68 color value gives it enough saturation to read as lively on a wall, while the softened salmon quality keeps it from feeling like a pure bright red. In direct daylight, Bird of Paradise can appear fresher and pinker, while warmer evening light brings out its peachier side. It makes a confident choice for a dining room, powder room, or painted front door, and can also add character to kitchen cabinetry in a small dose. Pair it with creamy off-whites, pale blushes, warm natural wood, woven textures, or muted olive green for contrast.

LRV of Bird of Paradise
Bird of Paradise has an LRV of 28.75% 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 28.75%, 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.
