Benjamin Moore

Peau de Soie

AF-60 / 1023

Peau de Soie by Benjamin Moore is a warm neutral with subtle pink undertones, part of the Affinity Color Collection, and carries an LRV of 70.71. The pink cast is restrained enough to function as a neutral in most lighting conditions, though it becomes more visible in spaces with warm-toned light sources. It is well-suited for living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways that benefit from a soft warmth without strong color saturation.

Stone Harbor and Abalone share its muted warmth for tonal layering, Kendall Charcoal or Hale Navy add grounding depth, and Chantilly Lace works as a crisp white trim pairing.

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.
