What color is Benjamin Moore Cotton Candy?
Benjamin Moore Cotton Candy 1268 is a very light blush pink with a soft, powdery appearance. Its pale red-pink cast keeps it warmer than a white or gray-based neutral, while the high lightness prevents it from feeling overly sweet. In bright daylight, Cotton Candy can read almost like a tinted off-white; under warm evening lighting, its pink tone becomes more noticeable. It suits bedroom walls, nurseries, powder rooms, or a ceiling where a subtle wash of color is wanted. Pair it with clean white trim, pale oak, brushed brass, or muted green-gray accents for contrast.

LRV of Cotton Candy
Cotton Candy has an LRV of 77.04% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of 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 77.04%, 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.
