What color is Benjamin Moore Pink Fairy?

Benjamin Moore Pink Fairy 2006-70 is a very light, softly tinted pink with a powdery appearance and low saturation. Its pale red cast reads gentle rather than sugary, especially across larger wall areas. In warm artificial light, Pink Fairy can appear a touch rosier, while cooler daylight brings out its airy, nearly pastel quality. It suits bedrooms, nurseries, dressing areas, and powder rooms where a faint wash of color is preferred over a stronger pink statement. Pair it with soft white trim, pale oak, linen upholstery, brushed nickel, or muted gray-beige accents to keep the room looking clean and grounded.

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 77.08%, 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.
