What color is Benjamin Moore Pink Begonia?
Benjamin Moore Pink Begonia 2078-50 is a light, clear pink with a rosy, slightly blue-leaning cast rather than a peachy one. Its moderate saturation gives it enough presence for a full wall, while the pale value keeps the result airy instead of overly sweet. In bright daylight, Pink Begonia appears fresh and petal-like; under warmer lamps, it can take on a softer, muted rose character. It suits bedrooms, powder rooms, nurseries, or a painted vanity, especially alongside warm white trim, pale oak, brushed brass, and soft gray textiles. For contrast, pair this color with deep berry accents, charcoal, or a dark green that lets the pink stand forward.

LRV of Pink Begonia
Pink Begonia has an LRV of 52.35% 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 52.35%, 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.
