What color is Benjamin Moore Rosewood?
Benjamin Moore Rosewood 2082-40 is a muted medium rose with a soft, earthbound pink cast and a touch of dusky red. Its moderate saturation gives it more presence than a pale blush, while the softened value keeps it from reading overly sweet. In bright daylight, Rosewood can appear like a faded rose petal; under warmer evening lighting, its red undertone becomes more noticeable. It suits bedroom walls, powder rooms, or a painted dresser, especially alongside warm white trim, natural oak, aged brass, and linen upholstery. For contrast, pair this shade with deep charcoal, dark brown wood, or a restrained olive green.

LRV of Rosewood
Rosewood has an LRV of 28.14% 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 28.14%, 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.
