What color is Benjamin Moore Hugs & Kisses?
Benjamin Moore Hugs & Kisses 097 is a light, sun-warmed peach with a clear apricot cast. Its orange-pink undertone keeps it cheerful without reading overly bright, while the softened value gives it a gently faded, plaster-like look on broad walls. In daylight, it can appear airy and peach-forward; under warm evening bulbs, it deepens toward a richer baked-coral hue. Use Hugs & Kisses in a breakfast nook, powder room, or child’s bedroom where a warm wash of color feels appropriate. It pairs especially well with creamy off-whites, pale natural oak, terracotta pottery, woven cane, and muted olive-green accents.

LRV of Hugs & Kisses
Hugs & Kisses has an LRV of 48.95% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 48.95%, 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.
