Benjamin Moore

Pale Petal

1178

Pale Petal by Benjamin Moore is a soft pink with a noticeable red-to-blush undertone that reads as muted and restrained rather than saturated. Its LRV of 57.42 places it in the mid-range for light reflectance, giving it enough body to register clearly on walls without darkening a space. This shade suits bedrooms, powder rooms, and living rooms where a warm, quiet color is preferred.

Pale Petal works alongside Benjamin Moore White Dove and Classic Gray for a grounded palette, and layers well with First Light or French Lilac. Hale Navy provides strong structural contrast.
