What color is Benjamin Moore Powder Puff?
Benjamin Moore Powder Puff 1143 is a light, muted beige with a noticeable peachy warmth that keeps it from reading flat or gray. Its soft, low-saturation character makes it well suited to bedrooms, living rooms, and hallways where a gentle wall color is wanted without the starkness of white. In daylight, Powder Puff can appear creamy and sand-toned, while warmer evening bulbs tend to bring out its blush-beige cast. Pair it with ivory trim, natural oak, linen upholstery, and aged brass for a layered, grounded look. For contrast, use deeper clay, olive, or chocolate brown accents rather than sharp blue-grays.

LRV of Powder Puff
Powder Puff has an LRV of 61.58% 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 61.58%, 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.
