Benjamin Moore

Rosy Apple

2006-30

Rosy Apple has an LRV of 16.07, placing it in the low-reflectance range where it functions as a strong, saturated accent rather than a wall-covering neutral. Its red base is inflected with pinkish-orange undertones that distinguish it from cooler crimsons or blue-reds, giving it a warm, slightly earthy cast. It deepens considerably in rooms with limited natural light.

Rosy Apple works with Benjamin Moore Classic Gray to temper its intensity, Chantilly Lace for maximum contrast on trim, Hale Navy as a deep complementary pairing, First Light for a soft warm offset, and Peach Parfait to echo its orange undertone.
