What color is Benjamin Moore Secret Garden?
Benjamin Moore Secret Garden 1284 is a muted rosy pink with a soft, slightly warm cast. Its mid-light depth keeps it from reading as sugary, giving walls a gentle wash of color that still feels grounded. In bright daylight, the pink appears clearer and fresher, while lower or warmer lighting can bring out its dusty, softened side. Secret Garden suits a bedroom, powder room, or dressing area, and it can also make a charming accent on built-ins or a painted vanity. Pair it with creamy off-whites, pale warm gray, natural oak, brushed brass, or deep burgundy accents for contrast.

LRV of Secret Garden
Secret Garden has an LRV of 40.39% 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 40.39%, 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.
