What color is Benjamin Moore Proposal?
Benjamin Moore Proposal AF-260 is a pale, muted blush with a noticeable beige-gray cast that keeps it from reading overly sweet. Its soft pink undertone is most apparent in daylight, while warmer evening lighting can bring out its powdery, slightly peach-tinted character. This low-saturation shade is especially well suited to bedroom walls, a dressing area, or a quiet living room where a nearly neutral color with a hint of color is wanted. Pair Proposal with warm white trim, natural oak, linen upholstery, and brushed brass for a gentle layered look. Charcoal, deep brown, or dusty olive accents give its light rosy base more definition.

What are Benjamin Moore Proposal undertones?
Proposal AF-260 reads as a light, very muted pink with a soft gray-beige cast rather than a bright or sugary pink. In the supplied digital sample, its subtle bias leans slightly warm and red, though that undertone is faint and should be viewed as a relative impression rather than a fixed fact. Benjamin Moore describes it as a pink with “a pale wash of gray,” which fits its visibly softened, neutral-leaning character. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its pink warmth, while cool daylight can make the grayed, neutral aspect more noticeable.

LRV of Proposal
Proposal has an LRV of 70.47% 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 70.47%, 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.
