Benjamin Moore

Romance

1333

Romance is a mid-toned pink with subtle red undertones that registers an LRV of 53.49, placing it at a moderate reflectance level suitable for balanced ambient lighting. The warmth in this hue comes through without veering into saturated territory, keeping it grounded for use on larger wall surfaces. It reads softer in north-facing light and slightly more coral under warm artificial sources.

Pairing it with White Dove provides clean contrast, while Hint of Violet echoes its cool edge. Natural Wicker, Mink, and Pale Oak offer layered neutral support across warm and mid-tone ranges.
