What color is Benjamin Moore Powder Blush?
Benjamin Moore Powder Blush 1338 is a very light, softly muted pink with a clean, even appearance. Its pale value keeps the color airy on broad walls, while the gentle red tint gives white trim and light wood a warmer contrast. In bright daylight, Powder Blush reads as a clear powdery pink; in lower light, it can appear quieter and closer to a warm off-white. It suits bedrooms, nurseries, dressing areas, and powder rooms where a faint wash of color is wanted without a dark or saturated finish. Pair this shade with creamy whites, natural oak, pale stone, and brushed brass for a simple, lightly layered palette.

LRV of Powder Blush
Powder Blush has an LRV of 71.36% 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 71.36%, 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.
