What color is Benjamin Moore Gentle Blush?
Benjamin Moore Gentle Blush 2084-70 is a very light pink with a softly rosy cast, shown here as the pale #FAE4E8. Its high lightness keeps the color airy on broad walls, while the pink remains visible enough to give white trim a gentle contrast. In daylight, Gentle Blush can read as a barely-there petal pink; warmer evening lighting may bring out its creamier side. It suits bedrooms, nurseries, powder rooms, and ceilings where a stark white would feel too crisp. Pair it with warm white, pale oak, brushed brass, or muted gray-green accents for a restrained, layered palette.

Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Gentle Blush
Gentle Blush has an LRV of 79.69% 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 79.69%, 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.
