Benjamin Moore

Kept Love Letters

CSP-425

Kept Love Letters (CSP-405) is a soft, warm pink with a gentle red undertone that keeps it from drifting toward peach or lavender. At an LRV of 53.46, it reflects slightly more light than it absorbs, reading as a true mid-light tone on walls. The warmth in its base is understated but consistent across lighting conditions.

White Heron or Simply White pair cleanly as trim colors, and Pale Oak provides a near-neutral companion. For contrast, Newburg Green or Hale Navy introduce cooler counterpoints that sharpen the overall palette.
