Benjamin Moore

Orchid Pink

36

Orchid Pink by Benjamin Moore is a cool, muted light pink with a dusty undertone that places it closer to blush than to a saturated pink. Its LRV of 67.8 provides strong light reflectance, making it functional in bedrooms, sitting rooms, and bathrooms where a subdued, low-contrast wall color is needed. The cool cast differentiates it from warmer peach-pinks in the same range.

Gray Owl and Stonington Gray pair cleanly as neutral companions, while Hale Navy and Kendall Charcoal offer deeper tonal contrast. Soft lilac tones from the Benjamin Moore palette maintain its cool direction.

Orchid Pink in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

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.
