Benjamin Moore

Palmetto Pink

1188

Palmetto Pink by Benjamin Moore is a dusky pink with a balanced undertone that leans into red, giving it more warmth and body than a standard blush. Its Light Reflectance Value of 38.21 places it in the mid-brightness range, contributing a warm, grounded presence in bedrooms, living rooms, or on accent walls. The red undertone keeps it from reading as pastel, adding depth under both natural and artificial light.

Benjamin Moore's White Dove and Edgecomb Gray work as neutral companions, while Aegean Teal and Hunter Green offer strong contrast. Soft coral tones can extend its warm character.
