Benjamin Moore

Desert Rose

2094-50

Desert Rose is a muted, dusty pink with noticeable red undertones that give it warmth without high saturation. It registers an LRV of 51.6, reflecting a moderate amount of light and functioning well in medium-sized rooms. The red undertone becomes more apparent under incandescent lighting, shifting the color warmer.

It works effectively alongside Benjamin Moore Rose Blush, Cloud White, and Ballet White for a tonal palette. For stronger contrast, pairing with Hale Navy or Newburg Green offsets its warm pink base.
