What color is Benjamin Moore Sweet 16?
Benjamin Moore Sweet 16 1310 is a light, clear pink with a softly warm cast and enough color to read distinctly on the wall. Its #F9C6CC value suggests a pale blush appearance rather than a muted beige-pink, giving it a fresh, delicate presence in daylight. In cooler or lower light, Sweet 16 may appear a little softer and more powdery, while warm bulbs can bring out its peach-leaning warmth. It suits a nursery, dressing area, powder room, or bedroom accent wall, especially alongside crisp white trim, pale oak, brass, and natural linen. For a more grounded palette, pair this shade with charcoal details, deep plum textiles, or matte black hardware.

LRV of Sweet 16
Sweet 16 has an LRV of 63.72% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 63.72%, 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.
