What color is Benjamin Moore Hummingbird?
Benjamin Moore Hummingbird 1271 is a muted rosy pink with a soft, slightly dusty cast. Its red-pink base is tempered by a hint of mauve, giving the color more depth than a typical pale blush. In bright daylight, Hummingbird reads as a gentle warm rose, while lower or cooler light can bring out its quieter grayed-pink side. It suits bedrooms, powder rooms, and dining spaces, especially on full walls where its subdued saturation keeps it from feeling overly sweet. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm taupe, aged brass, natural oak, or deep charcoal accents for contrast.

LRV of Hummingbird
Hummingbird has an LRV of 41.62% 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 41.62%, 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.
