Benjamin Moore

Powder Puff

1143

Powder Puff from Benjamin Moore is a warm, light tone with noticeable orange undertones that give it a soft, toasted quality. With an LRV of 61.58, it sits in the mid-to-high reflectance range, providing moderate brightness without appearing stark. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and nurseries where a subdued warmth is needed.

Pairing it with White Dove offers a clean contrast, while Rich Cream supports a tonal layering approach. For added depth, Hale Navy and Iron Mountain work as darker accents, and Peach Parfait extends the warm palette in an analogous direction.
