What color is Benjamin Moore Peppermint?
Benjamin Moore Peppermint 1359 is a very light blush pink with a muted, powdery cast rather than a bright candy-pink look. Its low saturation lets it read almost like a warmed white in strong daylight, while softer or dimmer light draws out its gentle rosy tone. This shade is well suited to bedroom walls, nursery ceilings, or a bathroom where a faint touch of color is wanted without overwhelming the room. Pair it with creamy white trim, light oak, pale taupe textiles, or brushed brass for a soft, grounded palette. Against charcoal, deep brown, or blue-gray accents, Peppermint’s pink undertone becomes more noticeable.

What are Benjamin Moore Peppermint undertones?
Peppermint is a light, very muted blushed off-white. The HEX sample has a subtle pink-red bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear pink-red. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Peppermint
Peppermint has an LRV of 74.19% and refers to Off‑White 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 74.19%, 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.
