What color is Benjamin Moore Butterfly Wings?
Benjamin Moore Butterfly Wings 090 is a bright, warm peach-orange with a soft coral cast and noticeable sunny saturation. Its light value keeps it from feeling heavy, though the color has enough pigment to read clearly across a full wall. In strong daylight, Butterfly Wings appears fresh and apricot-toned; under warmer bulbs, its orange and rosy notes become more pronounced. It suits cheerful kitchens, breakfast nooks, children’s rooms, or a painted interior door, especially alongside creamy whites, pale wood, woven natural fibers, and muted terracotta accents. For a more restrained scheme, use this shade as an accent against warm beige or soft sand-colored walls.

LRV of Butterfly Wings
Butterfly Wings has an LRV of 47.59% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 47.59%, 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.
