What color is Benjamin Moore First Light?
Benjamin Moore First Light 2102-70 is a very pale blush with soft rosy-beige undertones and a lightly warmed cast. Its low saturation keeps the pink subtle, so it can read almost off-white in strong daylight while showing more of its powdery pink character in softer evening light. This shade is well suited to bedroom, nursery, and bathroom walls where a hint of color is wanted without a visibly bright finish. Pair it with creamy whites, light oak, natural linen, and brushed brass for a gentle, layered look. First Light also makes a quiet choice for cabinetry or a ceiling when the surrounding walls are kept pale and neutral.

What are Benjamin Moore First Light undertones?
First Light is a very light, muted pink that reads close to off-white, with only a soft blush of color. In the supplied digital sample, the subtle bias leans red with a slight warm yellow component, though that low-level shift is difficult to judge with certainty from a HEX value alone. Benjamin Moore describes it as a “soft, airy pink,” which fits its visible pale pink main color family rather than a stronger or more saturated rose. Warm artificial light may make its blush warmth more noticeable, while cool daylight can make it appear lighter and closer to a pale neutral.

LRV of First Light
First Light has an LRV of 75.86% 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 75.86%, 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.
