What color is Benjamin Moore Pink Damask?

Benjamin Moore Pink Damask OC-72 is an exceptionally light off-white with a soft, warm cast. Its #F6F0E7 color value suggests a creamy, slightly peach-beige foundation rather than a crisp or blue-based white. In bright daylight, it can read as a gentle pale neutral, while lower or warmer artificial light is likely to draw out its subtle warmth. Use it on bedroom, nursery, or living room walls when a stark white would feel too sharp. Pink Damask pairs naturally with warm white trim, light oak, natural linen, brushed brass, and muted clay or dusty rose accents.

What are Benjamin Moore Pink Damask undertones?

Pink Damask is a near-white with very low saturation, reading mostly as a soft off-white rather than a clearly pink paint. In the supplied digital sample, the color has a slight warm yellow bias, though that subtle cast is low-confidence and can appear close to neutral. Benjamin Moore describes it as “a soft white with a wink of blush tone,” which fits its primarily white appearance with a restrained pink suggestion rather than a full pink character. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its creamy warmth, while cool daylight can make it look cleaner and closer to a pale neutral white.

LRV of Pink Damask

Pink Damask has an LRV of 85.46% and refers to White colors that reflect almost all light. Why LRV is important?

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 85.46%, 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.
