What color is Benjamin Moore Pink Polka Dot?
Benjamin Moore Pink Polka Dot 004 is a clear, warm pink with a noticeable coral-peach cast. Its mid-light depth and fairly lively saturation give it more presence than a pale blush, especially on a full wall. In bright daylight, this color reads fresh and sunny, while warmer evening lighting can bring its peachy side forward. Try Pink Polka Dot in a child’s room, powder room, or on an accent wall paired with soft ivory, pale sand, and natural oak. For sharper contrast, matte black hardware or deep teal details can ground its cheerful warmth.

LRV of Pink Polka Dot
Pink Polka Dot has an LRV of 42.62% 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 42.62%, 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.
