What color is Benjamin Moore Bubble Tea?
Benjamin Moore Bubble Tea CSP-1180 is a muted coral-red with a noticeable rosy, clay-like cast. Its mid-tone depth gives it more presence than a pale blush, while the softened saturation keeps it from reading overly bright. In warm daylight, Bubble Tea can look sunnier and more terracotta-leaning; cooler light may bring forward its pink-red side. It makes a memorable choice for a dining room, powder room, or painted front door, and can also add warmth to lower cabinetry. Pair this color with creamy off-whites, pale oak, natural linen, or deep olive-green accents for contrast.

LRV of Bubble Tea
Bubble Tea has an LRV of 22.98% 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 22.98%, 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.
