What color is Benjamin Moore Cat's Meow?
Benjamin Moore Cat's Meow 1332 is a very light blush pink with a soft, creamy cast rather than a sharp or candy-like look. Its pale depth keeps the color airy on broad walls, while the gentle pink presence is more noticeable in smaller spaces or beside crisp white trim. Daylight can make this shade read clean and petal-like, while warmer evening lighting draws out its peach-leaning softness. It suits bedrooms, nurseries, powder rooms, and ceilings where a near-neutral pink can replace plain white. Pair Cat's Meow with warm whites, light oak, natural linen, brushed brass, or muted clay accents for a cohesive finish.

LRV of Cat's Meow
Cat's Meow has an LRV of 68.34% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 68.34%, 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.
