What color is Benjamin Moore Passion Fruit?
Benjamin Moore Passion Fruit 2171-40 is a warm, mid-tone coral pink with a noticeable peachy cast. Its lively color feels clear rather than dusty, bringing warmth to a powder room, bedroom, or breakfast nook without reading as red. In bright daylight, Passion Fruit can appear fresher and more sunlit, while lower evening light brings out its softer rosy-orange side. Pair it with creamy off-whites, pale sand tones, and light oak for a relaxed look, or use charcoal and deep navy accents to give it more contrast. It has enough presence for an accent wall or painted furniture, yet can also cover all four walls in a small room with plenty of natural light.

LRV of Passion Fruit
Passion Fruit has an LRV of 40.38% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 40.38%, 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.
