Benjamin Moore

Claret

CW-305

Claret is a deep pink with warm red undertones and medium saturation. Its LRV of 26.08 places it in the medium-deep range. It works in dining rooms, powder rooms, or feature walls where a saturated pink-red is acceptable.

White Dove and Pale Oak soften the palette on trim and adjacent walls. Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal provide contrast without shifting it cool.

Claret in Different Light
