What color is Benjamin Moore Head Over Heels?
Benjamin Moore Head Over Heels AF-250 is a pale, warm blush-beige with a softly peachy cast. Its light value keeps it airy on broad walls, while the muted color prevents it from reading like a sugary pink. In bright daylight, Head Over Heels can look like a delicate petal-toned neutral; under warm evening lamps, its peach and rosy notes become more noticeable. It suits bedrooms, powder rooms, and softly colored living spaces, especially alongside creamy whites, warm taupe, light oak, and brushed brass. Use this shade on walls or a painted vanity when you want gentle color without strong saturation.

What are Benjamin Moore Head Over Heels undertones?
This reads as a very light, muted pink with a near-white depth and low saturation. In the supplied digital sample, any undertone is subtle, with a slight warm lean toward peach or orange rather than a cool blue-pink cast; Benjamin Moore describes it as a delicate shade of pink, which fits its visible main color family. Warm artificial light may bring out its peachier warmth, while cool daylight may make it appear lighter and less warm.

LRV of Head Over Heels
Head Over Heels has an LRV of 73.32% 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 73.32%, 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.
