Benjamin Moore

Paisley Pink

1261

Paisley Pink is a soft, powdery pink from Benjamin Moore with subdued red undertones that keep it grounded rather than overtly sweet. It carries a Light Reflectance Value of 69.56, reflecting a substantial amount of light and reading as a bright, airy tone on walls. This makes it a practical choice for bedrooms, nurseries, and bathrooms where a warm but quiet wall color is needed.

It coordinates well with White Dove and Ballet White for trim and ceiling applications, Kendall Charcoal for a deep neutral contrast, and Mauve Mist to extend the muted pink-lavender range across adjacent surfaces.
