Benjamin Moore

Organdy

1248

Organdy by Benjamin Moore is a softened pink carrying a subtle violet undertone that keeps it from reading too warm or saccharine. Its Light Reflectance Value of 64.37 means it reflects a good deal of light, making it functional in bedrooms, living rooms, and hallways where a quiet warmth is needed without overwhelming brightness. The violet shift gives it slightly more depth than a standard pastel pink.

It works well alongside Benjamin Moore's White Dove, Simply White, Hale Navy, Misty Lilac, and Silken Pine, offering flexibility across both neutral and contrasting palettes.

Organdy 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.
