What color is Benjamin Moore May Flowers?
Benjamin Moore May Flowers 1324 is a light, clear pink with a soft rosy cast rather than a strongly peach or beige base. Its high brightness keeps the color airy on full walls, while the gentle saturation gives it enough presence for a nursery, powder room, or bedroom. In daylight, May Flowers reads as a fresh pale pink; warmer evening lighting can make it appear slightly creamier and more blush-toned. Pair it with warm white trim, light oak, woven natural fibers, or muted sage accents for a grounded contrast. It can also bring a delicate wash of color to cabinetry or a small ceiling without making the surface feel heavy.

LRV of May Flowers
May Flowers has an LRV of 63.64% 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 63.64%, 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.
