Benjamin Moore

Cream Puff

2174-70

Cream Puff by Benjamin Moore is a very light pink with a chalky, matte quality and soft blush undertones. Its LRV of 82.08 means it reflects a large amount of light, keeping rooms open and well-lit. The pink reads as restrained rather than saturated, sitting close to a tinted white on the wall.

It works alongside Benjamin Moore's White Dove and Ballet White for a cohesive neutral grouping. For contrast, Raspberry Blush or Chestertown Buff can anchor the palette, while Palladian Blue offers a cool complement.
