What color is Benjamin Moore Light Salmon?

Benjamin Moore Light Salmon 2175-60 is a pale, warm peach-pink with a creamy, softly muted appearance. Its light value keeps it airy on broad walls, while the salmon cast adds more color than an off-white or beige. In daylight, this shade can read as a gentle blush-peach; warmer evening bulbs may bring forward its pink and apricot notes. Use it in bedrooms, powder rooms, nurseries, or a sunny breakfast area with warm white trim, pale oak, linen, and natural woven textures. For contrast, pair Light Salmon with softened sage greens, dusty blue-gray accents, or deep brown wood.

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 67.86%, 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.
