What color is Benjamin Moore Palmetto Pink?
Benjamin Moore Palmetto Pink 1188 is a muted, clay-leaning pink with warm beige and soft terracotta undertones. Its medium-light depth keeps it from reading sugary, giving walls a grounded blush that feels especially at home in bedrooms, powder rooms, or a softly colored dining area. In bright daylight, this shade can appear lighter and peachier, while lower or warmer light brings out its dusty rose-brown cast. Pair Palmetto Pink with creamy off-whites, warm taupe, natural oak, woven textiles, and aged brass for a layered look. It also has enough presence for painted cabinetry or an accent wall when the surrounding palette stays warm and understated.

LRV of Palmetto Pink
Palmetto Pink has an LRV of 38.21% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 38.21%, 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.
