Benjamin Moore

Cotton Candy

1268

Cotton Candy by Benjamin Moore is a light pastel pink carrying subtle red undertones that give it a soft, warm lean. It has an LRV of 77.04, so it reflects good light while still registering as a distinct color on the wall. The hue reads clearly pink without being saturated, which suits bedrooms and nurseries where a quiet tone is preferred.

White Blush and Soft Sand pair naturally for a cohesive warm scheme. Gray Owl or Chelsea Gray can ground the palette on trim or adjacent surfaces. Sea Foam provides a cool complement without sharp contrast.

Cotton Candy in Different Light
