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.

What are Benjamin Moore Sugarcane undertones?
Sugarcane is a light, very muted warm off-white. The HEX sample has a subtle red bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear red. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Sugarcane
Sugarcane has an LRV of 72.55% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of 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 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.
