Benjamin Moore

Santa Rosa

1189

Santa Rosa is a mid-toned hue with pink undertones that pull it toward a muted terracotta reading on walls. At an LRV of 29.79, it sits in the medium range and maintains enough depth to function as a grounding color without darkening a room excessively. Under warm lighting the pink influence becomes more visible, while daylight steadies it into a more balanced brownish-rose tone.

It pairs well with Natural Linen and Alabaster as lighter neutrals, and gains contrast from deeper tones like Hale Navy or Forest Floor. First Light offers a softer companion within the same pink-toned family.

Santa Rosa 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.
