What color is Benjamin Moore Sun Washed?
Benjamin Moore Sun Washed 2169-70 is a very light, warm off-white with a soft peach-pink cast. Its high brightness keeps it airy on broad walls, while the gentle rosy warmth prevents it from reading stark or icy. In daylight, Sun Washed can look like a pale cream touched with blush; under warm evening bulbs, its peach undertone becomes more noticeable. It suits bedrooms, nurseries, powder rooms, and softly sunlit living areas, especially alongside natural oak, light maple, linen, and woven textures. Pair this shade with muted terracotta, warm white trim, or dusty sage accents for a grounded palette.

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 Sun Washed
Sun Washed has an LRV of 84.17% and refers to White colors that reflect almost all 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 84.17%, 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.
