What color is Benjamin Moore Sugarcane?

Benjamin Moore Sugarcane 1185 is a very light, muted blush with a soft beige-pink cast. Its pale value keeps it closer to an off-white than a distinctly pink wall color, while the red warmth prevents it from feeling stark. In daylight, Sugarcane can read as a delicate rosy neutral; warmer artificial light may bring out its peachier side. It suits bedrooms, powder rooms, and dressing areas where a gentle wash of color is wanted without much saturation. Pair it with creamy whites, natural oak, light linen, and muted terracotta or clay accents for a layered, warm-neutral palette.

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 72.55%, 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.
