What color is Benjamin Moore Pink Sea Shell?
Benjamin Moore Pink Sea Shell 2009-60 is a very light blush pink with a warm, softly rosy cast. Its high lightness keeps it airy on full walls, while the gentle color is still noticeable enough to add warmth to a bedroom, nursery, powder room, or ceiling. In bright daylight, Pink Sea Shell can read almost like a tinted off-white; lower or warmer lighting brings its pink tone forward. Pair it with creamy whites, pale natural wood, brushed brass, and warm gray textiles for a restrained, layered look. It also makes a sweet accent on interior doors, built-ins, or a vanity when a full pink room feels like too much.

LRV of Pink Sea Shell
Pink Sea Shell has an LRV of 70.89% 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 70.89%, 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.
