What color is Benjamin Moore Tara?
Benjamin Moore Tara 1270 is a light, muted pink with a gentle rosy cast and enough softness to keep it from feeling sugary. Its low-to-medium saturation gives walls a powdery, slightly faded look, especially in daylight. Warm bulbs can draw out a faint peachy warmth, while cooler natural light makes the pink read cleaner and a touch more blue-rose. Tara suits bedrooms, dressing areas, nurseries, or a powder room, and it can also bring subtle color to ceiling details or painted furniture. Pair it with creamy whites, pale oak, warm brass, charcoal accents, or deep burgundy textiles for contrast.

LRV of Tara
Tara has an LRV of 53.43% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 53.43%, 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.
