What color is Benjamin Moore Key Pearl?
Benjamin Moore Key Pearl 885 is a very light, softly warmed off-white with a noticeable blush-pink cast. Its pale value keeps it airy on broad walls, while the muted peachy rose undertone gives it more character than a standard cream or white. In daylight, this color can read as a delicate shell pink; under warm evening bulbs, the pink warmth is likely to become more apparent. Key Pearl is well suited to bedrooms, powder rooms, and softly layered living spaces, especially with natural oak, linen, warm white trim, and brushed brass. For contrast, pair it with deep brown wood, charcoal accents, or a grounded muted green.

What are Benjamin Moore Key Pearl undertones?
Key Pearl is a near-white, very muted warm off-white. The HEX sample has a subtle red bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear red. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Key Pearl
Key Pearl has an LRV of 78.31% 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 78.31%, 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.
