What color is Benjamin Moore Pale Cherry Blossom?

Benjamin Moore Pale Cherry Blossom 2101-60 is a light, muted blush with a soft beige cast that keeps the pink from feeling sugary. Its low saturation gives it a powdery, understated appearance, especially across larger wall surfaces. In warm daylight, the peach-pink notes become more noticeable, while cooler or dimmer light can draw out its quiet gray-beige side. It suits bedrooms, nurseries, dressing areas, and powder rooms where a gentle wash of color is wanted without a strong pastel effect. Pair Pale Cherry Blossom with creamy off-whites, pale oak, warm brass, or charcoal accents for contrast.

What are Benjamin Moore Pale Cherry Blossom undertones?

Pale Cherry Blossom reads as a light, very muted rosy beige with a soft red-leaning warmth rather than a clear pink. In the supplied digital sample, its subtle undertone appears slightly red and slightly yellow, though that bias is faint and can shift with surrounding colors and lighting. Benjamin Moore describes it as a “light rosy hue,” which fits its visible pale red-pink family rather than suggesting a separate hidden undertone. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its peachy warmth, while cool daylight can make it appear quieter and a little less rosy.

LRV of Pale Cherry Blossom

Pale Cherry Blossom has an LRV of 61.45% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 61.45%, 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.
