Benjamin Moore

Rhododendron

2079-50

Rhododendron is a mid-tone pink with underlying red warmth that keeps it from skewing too cool or lavender. With an LRV of 50.4, it reflects a moderate amount of light, sitting near the middle of the brightness scale and maintaining its hue without fading in well-lit conditions. The red undertone gives it more body than a standard pastel pink, making it read as saturated but not heavy.

Pair it with White Dove or Classic Gray to let the pink remain dominant, or use Newburg Green and Hale Navy for sharp contrast. Pink Bliss works as a lighter analogous companion.

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.
