What color is Benjamin Moore Pink Swirl?
Benjamin Moore Pink Swirl 2171-70 is a very pale blush pink with a soft, warm cast and a lightly creamy appearance. Its low saturation keeps it close to an off-white, so it reads as a subtle wash of color rather than an overtly pink wall. In bright daylight, Pink Swirl can appear fresh and almost petal-like, while warmer evening light brings out its peach-leaning warmth. It suits bedrooms, nurseries, powder rooms, and ceilings where a gentle alternative to white is wanted. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, pale marble, linen fabrics, or muted terracotta accents for a cohesive finish.

LRV of Pink Swirl
Pink Swirl has an LRV of 82.45% and refers to White colors that reflect almost all 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 82.45%, 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.
