What color is Benjamin Moore Misty Blush?
Benjamin Moore Misty Blush 2097-60 is a pale, muted blush with a noticeable beige cast that keeps its pink tone soft and grounded. Its light value makes it read almost like a warm off-white at a distance, while closer views reveal a gentle rosy-peach tint. In daylight, this shade can look cleaner and lightly pink; under warm bulbs, its beige and peach notes tend to come forward. It suits bedroom, nursery, powder room, or living-room walls where a faint wash of color is wanted without a high-saturation effect. Pair Misty Blush with creamy whites, pale oak, natural linen, warm gray stone, or aged brass for a collected, material-focused look.

What are Benjamin Moore Misty Blush undertones?
Misty Blush is a light, very muted pink-beige with a soft, low-saturation appearance rather than a distinctly rosy look. The supplied digital color leans subtly warm, with a faint orange-red and yellow bias, though that bias is delicate and can shift with surrounding colors and lighting. Benjamin Moore describes it as “a powdery pink with hints of gray,” which fits its visibly softened pink family and muted character. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its gentle peachy warmth, while cool daylight can make its grayed, subdued side more noticeable.

LRV of Misty Blush
Misty Blush has an LRV of 60.81% 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 60.81%, 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.
