What color is Benjamin Moore Ciao Bella?
Benjamin Moore Ciao Bella 1187 is a light, muted blush-beige with a noticeable peach cast. Its warmth keeps it from reading like a conventional pale pink, giving walls a softly sun-warmed, plaster-like appearance. In bright daylight, Ciao Bella can look airy and gently rosy, while lower or warmer light brings forward its beige and clay-toned side. It suits bedrooms, powder rooms, and dining spaces where a quiet wash of color is more appealing than stark neutral walls. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm oak, aged brass, natural linen, or deeper terracotta accents for a grounded palette.

LRV of Ciao Bella
Ciao Bella has an LRV of 48.36% 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 48.36%, 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.
