What color is Benjamin Moore Lightfoot Salmon?
Benjamin Moore Lightfoot Salmon CW-220 is a muted salmon-pink with a noticeable earthy cast that keeps it from reading overly sweet. Its blend of warm pink, soft orange, and subdued beige undertones gives it a medium depth that feels especially grounded in daylight. In north-facing rooms, Lightfoot Salmon may look slightly dustier and more restrained, while warm afternoon sun brings out its coral-leaning warmth. It suits dining rooms, powder rooms, and bedrooms where a warm wall color can add presence without becoming too bright. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm taupe, natural oak, aged brass, or deep olive accents for a collected, material-rich look.

LRV of Lightfoot Salmon
Lightfoot Salmon has an LRV of 33.11% and refers to Medium 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 33.11%, 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.
