What color is Benjamin Moore Peach Mousse?
Benjamin Moore Peach Mousse 1199 is a light, muted peach with a soft pink cast and a noticeably warm undertone. Its #E4B5A6 color value gives it a powdery, mid-light appearance rather than a bright or sugary peach. On walls, Peach Mousse can bring gentle warmth to bedrooms, nurseries, dressing areas, or a dining room with plenty of natural light. It pairs well with creamy whites, pale sand tones, warm taupe, and natural oak or rattan finishes. Use this shade with charcoal, deep brown, or matte black accents when the room needs more contrast.

LRV of Peach Mousse
Peach Mousse has an LRV of 51.31% 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 51.31%, 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.
