What color is Benjamin Moore Sailor's Delight?
Benjamin Moore Sailor's Delight 1296 is a light, softened pink with a warm peach-coral cast rather than a sugary bubblegum look. Its high value keeps it airy on broad walls, while the gentle warmth gives bedrooms, powder rooms, and nursery spaces a noticeable wash of color. In bright daylight, Sailor's Delight reads as a clean blush pink; under warmer evening bulbs, its peachier undertone becomes more apparent. Pair it with creamy whites, pale oak, natural linen, and brushed brass for a cohesive warm palette. For contrast, charcoal accents or muted olive greenery can give this shade a more grounded, contemporary edge.

LRV of Sailor's Delight
Sailor's Delight has an LRV of 57.67% 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 57.67%, 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.
