Benjamin Moore

Hot Lips

2077-30

Hot Lips is an intense pink with warm undertones that place it firmly in the magenta family. With an LRV of 17.51, this saturated hue absorbs more light than it reflects, making it appropriate for accent walls or smaller spaces where a bold statement is intended. The warmth in the pink prevents it from reading as overly cool or artificial.

This color pairs effectively with Benjamin Moore's Chantilly Lace for crisp contrast, Coventry Gray for a neutral balance, Hale Navy for dramatic depth, Coral Gables for an analogous warm scheme, and Simply White for clean trim work.
