What color is Benjamin Moore Flamingo's Dream?
Benjamin Moore Flamingo's Dream 2002-40 is a lively medium pink with a clear warm coral cast. Its strong saturation gives it enough presence for a feature wall, a powder room, or painted furniture, while its softened brightness keeps it from reading as neon. In warm daylight, this shade can lean more peachy-coral; cooler light tends to bring forward its rosy pink side. Pair Flamingo's Dream with creamy whites, pale sand, natural oak, and woven fibers for a grounded look, or use deep teal and charcoal accents for sharper contrast. It is especially effective on smaller walls, doors, and cabinetry where its color can feel intentional without overtaking the room.

LRV of Flamingo's Dream
Flamingo's Dream has an LRV of 39.59% 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 39.59%, 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.
