Benjamin Moore

Sailor's Delight

1296

Sailor's Delight is a light, desaturated pink with clear red undertones that produce a blush-like reading on the wall. At an LRV of 57.67, it reflects moderate light, sitting in the mid-light range without appearing overly bright. The red base is muted enough to avoid reading as saturated, instead presenting as a warm, soft tone.

It works alongside Benjamin Moore White Opulence for clean high-contrast trim, Soft Sand for a warm neutral transition, Hale Navy for a deep complementary pairing, Coral Gables for an analogous warm extension, and Chantilly Lace for a crisp white border.

Sailor's Delight 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.
