Benjamin Moore

Passion Fruit

2171-40

Passion Fruit is a coral shade with red undertones that give it warmth and saturation. An LRV of 40.38 places it in a balanced mid-depth range, allowing it to read lively without becoming overpowering. The undertone remains consistent across lighting conditions.

It is suitable for accent walls, kitchens, or children’s rooms where controlled color energy is appropriate. It pairs well with Benjamin Moore Decorator’s White and Gray Owl for contrast, while Hawthorne Yellow or Soft Salmon support a warmer, adjacent palette.
