What color is Benjamin Moore Phoenix Sand?

Benjamin Moore Phoenix Sand 017 is a light, warm peach with a noticeable blush-pink cast. Its pale value keeps it airy on broad walls, while the soft coral undertone gives it more presence than a standard cream or beige. In bright daylight, Phoenix Sand can read as a clean shell-like peach; under warmer evening lamps, its pinkness becomes more apparent. It suits bedrooms, powder rooms, and dining areas where a gentle wash of color is wanted without a dark or heavily saturated result. Pair it with warm white trim, light oak, natural linen, or muted terracotta accents for a cohesive, sun-warmed palette.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 60.53%, 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.
