What color is Benjamin Moore Deep Carnation?
Benjamin Moore Deep Carnation 2086-40 is a clear, mid-tone pink with a rosy red base and a lightly berry-leaning cast. Its saturated #E97B9D hue reads cheerful and present on the wall rather than pale or powdery. In bright daylight, the pink appears crisp and lively, while warmer evening lighting brings forward its softer red warmth. Use it for a powder room, a child’s room, a painted dresser, or an accent wall where a confident dose of color feels appropriate. Deep Carnation pairs especially well with clean white trim, warm natural wood, charcoal, and muted olive or leafy green accents.

LRV of Deep Carnation
Deep Carnation has an LRV of 34.27% and refers to Medium 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 34.27%, 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.
