What color is Benjamin Moore Love Always?
Benjamin Moore Love Always 896 is a light, creamy peach-beige with a soft blush cast that keeps it noticeably warm. Its low saturation gives it a gentle, airy appearance rather than a strongly pink or orange look. In daylight, Love Always can read as a pale warm neutral, while evening lighting tends to bring out its peachier side. It suits bedrooms, nurseries, powder rooms, and living areas where a clean white might feel too stark. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, woven linen, and muted clay or terracotta accents for a cohesive palette.

LRV of Love Always
Love Always has an LRV of 69.57% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 69.57%, 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.
