What color is Benjamin Moore Princess?
Benjamin Moore Princess 1272 is a muted rose pink with a grayed, slightly mauve cast that keeps it from reading overly sweet. Its medium depth gives it enough presence for a full room, especially in bedrooms, powder rooms, or a softly colored dining area. In bright daylight, the pink becomes clearer, while lower or warmer light brings out its dusty, subdued side. Pair Princess with creamy off-whites, weathered oak, brushed brass, and charcoal accents for contrast. It also makes a considered choice for an accent wall or painted vanity when a straightforward neutral feels too plain.

LRV of Princess
Princess has an LRV of 31.29% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 31.29%, 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.
