What color is Benjamin Moore Melon Cup?
Benjamin Moore Melon Cup 101 is a light, warm peach-beige with a soft blush cast that keeps it from reading as plain cream. Its gentle orange-pink undertone is most noticeable in daylight, while evening lamps can make the color appear a little richer and more apricot-toned. It has a muted, airy depth that suits bedroom walls, powder rooms, or a dining area where a pale warm color is wanted without going fully yellow. Pair Melon Cup with warm white trim, natural oak, woven linen, and tan leather for a grounded look. For contrast, charcoal accents or deep olive-green textiles can give this shade more definition.

LRV of Melon Cup
Melon Cup has an LRV of 63.82% 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 63.82%, 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.
