Benjamin Moore

Mesa Peach

1200

Mesa Peach is a warm, muted coral from Benjamin Moore with an LRV of 38.92, situating it in the medium-light range. Its dominant undertones are red-orange with a visible pink cast, giving it a dusty, terracotta-adjacent quality rather than a bright peach. The color absorbs more light than typical pastels and reads distinctly warm under both natural and artificial lighting.

It works alongside Blanched Coral 886 for a tonal pairing, White Dove OC-17 for clean contrast on trim, Revere Pewter HC-172 as a grounding neutral, Muslin OC-12 to echo its warmth, and Cinnamon 2174-20 as a deeper accent.

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.
