Benjamin Moore

Love Story

1213 / HC-60

Love Story is a pale peach that sits comfortably in the light range with an LRV of 70.51. Its warmth comes from soft coral undertones, tempered by a quiet pinkish-beige base that keeps it from reading too sweet. The color holds enough pigment to register on walls without overwhelming a space.

It works well alongside Creamy White OC-7 and Soft Chamois OC-13 for a tonal scheme, while Navy Masterpiece CC-912 or Forest Green 2047-10 offer strong contrast. Quiet Moments 1563 and Pink Damask OC-72 sit comfortably in its range.
