What color is Benjamin Moore Raspberry Parfait?
Benjamin Moore Raspberry Parfait 2172-40 is a muted, medium-depth rosy red with a clear warm cast. Its softened brown-gray influence keeps the color from reading overly sweet or bright, giving it the look of weathered clay with a pink-red edge. In bright daylight, Raspberry Parfait can appear lighter and more rose-toned, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its earthy, terracotta-like side. It has enough presence for a dining room, powder room, or bedroom accent wall, and can also give painted cabinetry a grounded hit of color. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm taupe, natural oak, aged brass, or charcoal details for contrast.

LRV of Raspberry Parfait
Raspberry Parfait has an LRV of 23.6% 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 23.6%, 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.
