What color is Benjamin Moore Tomato Cream Sauce?
Benjamin Moore Tomato Cream Sauce 2089-40 is a warm, softened coral-pink with a noticeable clay-red cast. Its mid-light value keeps the color airy enough for full walls, while the muted saturation prevents it from reading overly sweet or bright. In direct daylight, Tomato Cream Sauce can show more of its peachy warmth; under warmer evening bulbs, its rosy terracotta side becomes more apparent. It suits dining rooms, powder rooms, and bedrooms where a warm wall color can provide definition without becoming too dark. Pair it with creamy off-whites, natural oak, aged brass, or deep olive accents for a grounded contrast.

LRV of Tomato Cream Sauce
Tomato Cream Sauce has an LRV of 40.42% 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 40.42%, 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.
