Benjamin Moore

Monticello Rose

HC-63 / 1174

Monticello Rose (HC-63) is a muted, powdery rose with brown and beige undertones that keep it firmly in neutral territory. With an LRV of 46.07, it is a true mid-tone that neither recedes nor dominates. The brown undertone prevents it from reading as overtly pink, giving it a dusty, mineral quality closer to clay than to flower petals.

It coordinates well within the Benjamin Moore palette alongside White Blush (OC-86) for a soft trim, Hasbrouck Brown (HC-71) for deeper warmth, Collector's Item (AF-45) as a tonal companion, and Anchor Gray (2126-30) for a cool, grounding contrast.
