What color is Benjamin Moore Pink Cherub?
Benjamin Moore Pink Cherub 2079-60 is a very light pink with a cool, blue-leaning cast that keeps it from reading sugary or peachy. Its high brightness gives walls an airy wash of color, while the rosy undertone remains visible rather than fading to off-white. In daylight, Pink Cherub can look fresh and softly lilac-pink; warmer evening lamps may bring out a slightly fuller blush effect. It suits bedrooms, nurseries, dressing areas, and powder rooms, especially when paired with crisp white trim, pale gray, brushed nickel, or light oak. Use this shade across all four walls for a gentle color field, or on cabinetry and interior doors where a subtle pink accent is wanted.

LRV of Pink Cherub
Pink Cherub has an LRV of 66.43% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 66.43%, 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.
