What color is Benjamin Moore Blushing Bride?

Benjamin Moore Blushing Bride 2086-50 is a light, clear pink with a rosy cast and enough color to read distinctly on the wall. Its #F5ABC5 value suggests a soft red-pink base tempered by a slight blue note, keeping it from looking peachy. In bright daylight, Blushing Bride can appear fresh and petal-like, while lower light may bring out its deeper rosy side. It suits a powder room, nursery, dressing area, or a single accent wall where a noticeable pink feels appropriate. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale gray, soft charcoal, or natural oak for contrast that lets the color remain the focal point.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 49.78%, 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.
