What color is Benjamin Moore Peaches 'n Cream?
Benjamin Moore Peaches 'n Cream 040 is a muted warm coral with earthy pink and terracotta undertones. Its medium depth gives it more presence than a pale peach, while the softened saturation keeps it from reading overly bright or sugary. In strong daylight, this color can show its rosy-orange side; under warmer evening lighting, it is likely to appear deeper and more clay-like. It brings grounded color to powder rooms, dining areas, or a bedroom accent wall, and can also make a distinctive choice for painted cabinetry. Pair it with warm off-whites, natural oak, aged brass, and dusty olive or soft blue-green accents for contrast.

LRV of Peaches 'n Cream
Peaches 'n Cream has an LRV of 30.88% 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 30.88%, 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.
