Benjamin Moore

Minstrel Heart

1297

Benjamin Moore Minstrel Heart (1297) is a warm coral sitting at the intersection of red and pink, with an LRV of 41.51 that places it in the mid-reflectance range. Its undertones include orange and a touch of peach, which prevent it from reading as a cool or blue-based pink. In strong daylight it appears lighter and more pink-forward, in dim settings it deepens toward terra cotta.

It works with the crispness of White Dove (OC-17), the grounded warmth of Revere Pewter (HC-172), the deeper red of Caliente (AF-290), and the clean contrast of Simply White (OC-117).

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.
