Benjamin Moore

Powder Blush

1338

Powder Blush is a soft, warm pink from Benjamin Moore with light red undertones that keep it grounded without becoming overly saturated. At an LRV of 71.36, it reflects a high amount of light, making rooms feel open and bright, which is particularly useful in bedrooms, nurseries, and powder rooms with limited natural light. The warmth in its base distinguishes it from cooler pinks and gives it a slightly peachy quality under warm bulbs.

It pairs well with Benjamin Moore's White Dove, Classic Gray, and Peach Parfait for tonal harmony, and with Kendall Charcoal or Hale Navy for sharp contrast.

Powder Blush 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.
