Benjamin Moore

Charmeuse

AF-265

Charmeuse is a soft pink with gray undertones that temper the warmth. An LRV of 61.32 gives it a mid-light read that stays gentle in most lighting. It works in bedrooms, sitting rooms, or dressing areas where a muted pink is acceptable.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore Gray Owl or Balboa Mist for a cool neutral range. Sea Salt or Misty Gray keep the palette soft, while Kendall Charcoal or Hale Navy add depth.
