Benjamin Moore

Potpourri

1312

Potpourri is a mid-saturation pink from Benjamin Moore driven by clear red undertones that give it noticeable energy on the wall. At an LRV of 34.71, it reflects a moderate amount of light and reads as a definitive color rather than a tinted neutral. It works on accent walls and in rooms with bold or eclectic palettes, including creative studios and contemporary living spaces.

The red base keeps it warm without veering into coral territory. Complement it with Benjamin Moore's White Heron or Fog Mist, or pair with New London Burgundy and Blue Note for high-contrast combinations.

Potpourri in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

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.
