What color is Benjamin Moore Mesa Peach?
Benjamin Moore Mesa Peach 1200 is a muted mid-tone peach with a dusty clay cast, sitting comfortably between soft terracotta and rosy beige. Its warm orange-pink base feels grounded rather than sugary, making it a useful choice for rooms that need color without a bright, candy-like finish. In direct sun, Mesa Peach can read lighter and more apricot-toned, while lower or cooler light tends to bring out its subdued earthy pink side. It suits dining rooms, bedrooms, and powder rooms particularly well, and can also add character to painted cabinetry or a single accent wall. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm taupe, natural oak, aged brass, and textured linen for a layered, relaxed interior.

LRV of Mesa Peach
Mesa Peach has an LRV of 38.92% 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 38.92%, 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.
