Benjamin Moore

Rosetone

1186

Rosetone is a mid-toned pink with an LRV of 60.09 and a pronounced earthy warmth driven by its red and brown undertones. It reads as a dusty rose rather than a clean pink, which keeps it from appearing juvenile in residential settings. Under warm artificial light the red undertone intensifies slightly, while cooler daylight reveals more of its muted, powdery quality.

Rosetone works well with Benjamin Moore Swiss Coffee for trim, White Dove on ceilings, Hale Navy as a contrasting accent, Pink Bliss for a tonal layering approach, and Kendall Charcoal on built-in cabinetry.

Rosetone 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.
