Benjamin Moore

Light Salmon

2175-60

Light Salmon blends pink and orange undertones into a muted salmon that holds moderate depth at an LRV of 67.86. It is warm without being saturated, and the orange component prevents it from reading purely pink on the wall. Under incandescent lighting, the peach side strengthens, under daylight, the pink becomes more visible.

White Dove and Ballet White are well-suited trim choices that echo its warmth. Peach Parfait or Coral Gables build a cohesive warm palette, and Newburyport Blue or Kendall Charcoal supply cooler counterbalance.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
