What color is Benjamin Moore Melon Popsicle?
Benjamin Moore Melon Popsicle 2016-50 is a light, creamy peach with a clear warm golden cast. Its pale value keeps the color airy on broad walls, while the peach undertone adds more presence than a standard off-white. In bright daylight, it can read as a soft apricot-cream; under warmer bulbs, its yellow-orange warmth becomes more noticeable. Use it in kitchens, breakfast rooms, children’s spaces, or powder rooms where a gentle wash of color feels appropriate. Pair Melon Popsicle with warm white trim, natural oak, woven fibers, muted terracotta, or sandy beige for a cohesive, sunlit palette.

LRV of Melon Popsicle
Melon Popsicle has an LRV of 70.66% 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 70.66%, 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.
