What color is Benjamin Moore Toasted Mauve?
Benjamin Moore Toasted Mauve 1279 is a muted mid-tone rose with a soft, dusty cast rather than a bright pink finish. Its color value, #C7868C, gives it a gentle red-pink presence with enough grayness to feel grounded on larger walls. In clear daylight, Toasted Mauve reads as a restrained rosy hue, while warmer bulbs can bring forward its peachier side. It suits bedrooms, powder rooms, and dining areas where a colored wall is desired without heavy saturation. Pair this shade with warm off-whites, walnut wood, charcoal accents, or aged brass for contrast that keeps the pink from feeling overly sweet.

LRV of Toasted Mauve
Toasted Mauve has an LRV of 31.94% and refers to Medium 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 31.94%, 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.
