What color is Benjamin Moore Cinco de Mayo?

Benjamin Moore Cinco de Mayo 1286 is a medium, muted rose-red with a softly dusty finish rather than a bright, candy-like pink. Its red base carries a faint berry cast, giving the color enough depth for a dining room, powder room, or accent wall. In warm daylight, Cinco de Mayo can read as a gently sunbaked rose, while cooler lighting brings out its quieter mauve-red side. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm taupe, natural oak, aged brass, or charcoal details for contrast. It has enough presence for cabinetry or a front door, but feels especially effective on walls where its softened saturation can be appreciated.

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 23.71%, 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.
