What color is Benjamin Moore Genuine Pink?
Benjamin Moore Genuine Pink 2005-40 is a medium, muted pink with a noticeable rosy-red cast and a softly grayed finish. Its depth keeps it from reading sugary, making it a considered option for bedroom walls, a powder room, or painted furniture with simple lines. In bright daylight, Genuine Pink can look like a faded rose; under warm evening bulbs, its red warmth becomes more apparent. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm taupe, deep burgundy, or charcoal for contrast, and add oak, walnut, brass, or aged bronze to reinforce its earthy side.
LRV of Genuine Pink
Genuine Pink has an LRV of 29.98% 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 29.98%, 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.
