Benjamin Moore

Authentic Pink

2006-60

Authentic Pink is a light pink with a subtle warm shift that keeps it from reading as cool or icy. With an LRV of 64.11 it reflects a good amount of light and functions well in rooms where brightness is a priority. The warmth in its undertone comes from a slight orange-red bias rather than a blue-red one which softens its overall effect.

Soft Sand and Peach Parfait work as compatible warm companions while Edgecomb Gray offers a neutral bridge. Midnight Navy and Chantilly Lace provide stronger tonal separation when needed.
