What color is Benjamin Moore True Pink?
Benjamin Moore True Pink 2003-40 is a clear, medium-light pink with a lively coral-red cast. Its noticeable saturation gives it more presence than a powdery blush, so it reads as a deliberate color choice rather than a near-neutral. In bright daylight, this shade can look fresh and rosy, while lower or warmer lighting may bring forward its peachier warmth. Use it on a bedroom wall, a painted dresser, or a small powder room where a cheerful dose of color feels appropriate. Crisp white trim keeps the look clean, while pale oak, rattan, brass, and soft cream textiles help temper its brightness.

LRV of True Pink
True Pink has an LRV of 35.73% 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 35.73%, 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.
