What color is Benjamin Moore Hot Lips?
Benjamin Moore Hot Lips 2077-30 is a vivid, medium-deep pink with a noticeable berry-magenta cast. Its blue-leaning undertone keeps the color from reading as coral, while the strong saturation gives it clear presence on a wall or painted furniture. In bright daylight, Hot Lips can appear fresher and more energetic; under warm evening bulbs, it takes on a richer raspberry depth. Use it for a powder room, dressing area, or a single focal wall where a bold color is welcome. Crisp white trim, charcoal accents, pale blush textiles, and brass hardware give this shade room to stand out without competing with it.

LRV of Hot Lips
Hot Lips has an LRV of 17.51% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 17.51%, 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.
