What color is Benjamin Moore Orchid Pink?
Benjamin Moore Orchid Pink 036 is a pale, softened pink with a noticeable peach-beige cast that keeps it from reading sugary or overly floral. Its high lightness makes it feel airy on broad walls, while the muted saturation gives the color a gently powdery appearance. In warm daylight, Orchid Pink can lean more peach, whereas cooler light may bring out its faint rosy-gray side. It suits bedrooms, dressing areas, nurseries, and powder rooms, especially alongside warm white trim, natural oak, linen, and brushed brass. For contrast, pair this shade with deep brown wood, charcoal accents, or a muted olive green.

LRV of Orchid Pink
Orchid Pink has an LRV of 67.8% 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 67.8%, 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.
