What color is Benjamin Moore Salmon Mousse?
Benjamin Moore Salmon Mousse 046 is a muted, light-to-medium salmon pink with a warm, softly earthy cast. Its #DAA492 color value gives it more depth than a pale blush, while the restrained saturation keeps it from reading overly sweet. In bright daylight, this shade can appear gently peachy, while lower or warmer light may bring out its dustier rose-brown side. It suits bedroom walls, powder rooms, or a dining area where a warm color can add presence without becoming dominant. Pair Salmon Mousse with creamy off-whites, warm taupes, natural oak, aged brass, or deep olive accents for a grounded contrast.
LRV of Salmon Mousse
Salmon Mousse has an LRV of 42.34% 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 42.34%, 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.
