What color is Benjamin Moore Engagement?
Benjamin Moore Engagement 1277 is a light, muted pink with a soft rose cast and a gently warm appearance. Its restrained saturation keeps it from reading as sugary, giving walls a powdery blush that feels especially suited to bedrooms, dressing areas, and bathrooms. In bright daylight, Engagement appears clearer and a little fresher, while lower or warmer light can bring out its dusty, peach-leaning side. Pair it with creamy whites, pale oak, linen upholstery, and brushed brass for a warm layered look. For more contrast, use charcoal accents or deep brown wood to ground this delicate shade.

LRV of Engagement
Engagement has an LRV of 51.66% 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 51.66%, 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.
