What color is Benjamin Moore Prom Dress?
Benjamin Moore Prom Dress 1273 is a muted rose-red with a gently dusky, gray-softened cast. Its medium depth keeps it from reading sugary, while the red and pink notes give it enough presence for a dining room, powder room, or bedroom accent wall. In bright daylight, Prom Dress can appear like a faded floral pink; under warmer evening light, it takes on a richer, more wine-rose character. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm taupe, charcoal, or natural oak for a grounded palette. Brass hardware, aged bronze, and linen upholstery complement this shade particularly well.

LRV of Prom Dress
Prom Dress has an LRV of 21.23% 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 21.23%, 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.
