What color is Benjamin Moore Rhododendron?
Benjamin Moore Rhododendron 2079-50 is a light, clear pink with a noticeable blue-cast softness that keeps it from reading peachy. Its high-value color feels bright on a wall, while the pink remains distinct enough to make a small powder room, child’s room, or dressing area feel deliberately color-led. In warm afternoon light, Rhododendron can appear more rosy; cooler daylight brings forward its slightly berry-like edge. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale gray, soft lavender, or light natural oak for a clean contrast. It is especially effective on walls and painted furniture where its cheerful, medium saturation can be appreciated up close.

LRV of Rhododendron
Rhododendron has an LRV of 50.4% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 50.4%, 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.
