What color is Benjamin Moore Sausalito Sunset?
Benjamin Moore Sausalito Sunset 074 is a light, warm peach with a clear coral cast, based on its soft orange-pink color value. It has enough brightness to read as cheerful on a wall without becoming overly intense, especially in rooms with ample daylight. The shade can bring gentle color to a powder room, breakfast nook, or bedroom, and it also makes a lively accent on interior doors or painted furniture. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm beige upholstery, pale oak, or terracotta-toned ceramics to keep the palette cohesive. In cooler or dimmer light, this color may appear softer and more muted than it does in direct sun.

LRV of Sausalito Sunset
Sausalito Sunset has an LRV of 46.87% 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 46.87%, 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.
