Benjamin Moore

Pinky Swear

CSP-340

Pinky Swear is a warm neutral with a subtle pink undertone that reads soft and understated on the wall. An LRV of 61.11 gives it moderate brightness, making it suitable as a whole-room color. It performs well in living rooms, bedrooms, and shared spaces.

The undertone adds warmth without obvious color. Pinky Swear pairs smoothly with Edgecomb Gray and Manchester Tan, and it gains contrast from Hale Navy, Knoxville Gray, Soft Fern, and Palladian Blue.
