Benjamin Moore

Princess

1272

Princess by Benjamin Moore is a muted rosy pink with soft warm undertones that keep it from reading as stark or overly saturated. Its LRV of 31.29 places it in the lower-moderate reflectance range, so it will appear richer and deeper on walls, particularly in rooms with limited natural light. This makes it a reasonable choice for bedrooms and living rooms where a pronounced color presence is desired.

It pairs effectively with Benjamin Moore's Simply Irresistible and Pink Cloud for a tonal scheme, while Newburyport Blue and Hunter Green provide contrast. Chantilly Lace works as a balancing neutral.

Princess 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.
