Benjamin Moore

Secret Garden

1284

Secret Garden presents as a mid-tone pink with clear red undertones, registering an LRV of 40.39 that places it at a moderate brightness level. The red base gives it warmth and substance rather than reading as pastel or washed out. It coordinates with Rosy Outlook and Pink Damask for an analogous arrangement within the same hue family.

Pairing with Aegean Teal introduces a direct complementary contrast, while Simply White and Edgecomb Gray serve as effective neutral backdrops that temper its saturation.

Secret Garden 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.
