What color is Benjamin Moore Pale Petal?
Benjamin Moore Pale Petal 1178 is a light, muted blush-beige with soft peach and rosy undertones. Its gentle warmth keeps it from reading stark, while the low saturation gives walls a powdered, slightly weathered look rather than a candy-pink effect. In bright daylight, Pale Petal can appear airy and pale; under warm evening lamps, its peach tones become more noticeable. It suits bedrooms, dressing areas, and powder rooms, especially with creamy whites, natural oak, linen upholstery, and aged brass. For more contrast, pair this shade with deep olive, charcoal brown, or a dusty blue-gray.

LRV of Pale Petal
Pale Petal has an LRV of 57.42% 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 57.42%, 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.
