What color is Benjamin Moore Minstrel Heart?
Benjamin Moore Minstrel Heart 1297 is a mid-light, muted pink with a clear warm coral cast. Its softened saturation keeps it from reading overly sweet, giving walls a gentle blush that still has enough color to define a room. In bright daylight, this shade can look fresher and peachier, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its dusty rose character. It suits bedrooms, powder rooms, and dining areas, and can also make a charming accent on a painted door or built-in. Pair Minstrel Heart with creamy off-whites, warm taupe, natural oak, terracotta pottery, or deep olive accents for contrast.

LRV of Minstrel Heart
Minstrel Heart has an LRV of 41.51% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 41.51%, 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.
