What color is Benjamin Moore Soul Mate?

Benjamin Moore Soul Mate 1179 is a muted peach-beige with a noticeable rosy cast and soft clay undertones. Its medium-light depth keeps it from reading as a sugary pink, giving walls a gently warmed, lived-in look instead. In bright daylight, Soul Mate can show more of its pale apricot side, while evening lighting tends to emphasize its dusty blush and tan notes. It suits bedrooms, dining rooms, and powder rooms where a warm neutral feels more interesting than cream or beige. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, aged brass, linen upholstery, or deep brown accents for a grounded palette.

LRV of Soul Mate

Soul Mate has an LRV of 44.57% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 44.57%, 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.
