Candy Stripe

2079-70

Candy Stripe is a light pink with a subtle red undertone. With an LRV of 77.09, it reads bright and airy. It is suitable for nurseries, bedrooms, or accent walls where a soft pink is needed.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace or Simply White for clean trim. Soft Mint, Lemon Chiffon, or Hale Navy add related color or contrast. In mixed lighting, the undertone remains visible and the color does not wash out.
