Behr

Retro Pink

S170-4

Retro Pink by Behr is a muted, medium-light pink with brown and peach undertones that give it a dusty, slightly vintage character. At an LRV of 64.8, it reflects a moderate amount of light, reading as a noticeable color on walls rather than a tinted neutral. Its warm temperature and desaturated quality make it suitable for mid-century modern or earth-toned interiors, particularly rooms with natural wood finishes.

It pairs with Behr Vintage Tea Rose for a close tonal match, Behr Rosewater as a lighter option, and Behr Stolen Kiss for trim, while Behr Vine Leaf can introduce a cool contrast.
