What color is Benjamin Moore Intense Peach?

Benjamin Moore Intense Peach 081 is a light, warm peach with a clear coral-pink cast that keeps it brighter than a muted blush. Its high-value color reads soft and sunlit on broad walls, while the orange influence becomes more noticeable in warm afternoon or incandescent light. In cooler daylight, Intense Peach can appear fresher and slightly pinker without losing its warmth. It suits a breakfast nook, powder room, child’s room, or a cheerful bedroom accent wall, especially alongside creamy whites, pale sand tones, and natural oak. For a sharper contrast, pair this shade with deep teal, dusty blue, or charcoal details in textiles and artwork.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 49.75%, 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.
