What color is Benjamin Moore Candy Stripe?

Benjamin Moore Candy Stripe 2079-70 is a very light, powdery pink with a soft rosy cast and a subtle coolness from its blue-leaning undertone. Its high lightness keeps it airy on broad walls, where it reads more like a tinted blush than a full-strength pastel. In bright daylight, Candy Stripe can appear clean and nearly white at a glance, while evening light brings out its pinker character. It suits bedrooms, nurseries, dressing areas, and small powder rooms, especially alongside crisp white trim, pale gray, or soft dove-blue accents. Pair it with light oak, painted wood furniture, brushed nickel, or white marble to keep the palette fresh rather than overly sweet.

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 77.09%, 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.
