Benjamin Moore

Serendipity

AF-205

Serendipity reads as a mid-tone warm neutral with distinct peach and soft orange undertones. At an LRV of 46.66, it sits in the middle range, reflecting a moderate amount of light without washing out surrounding surfaces. The orange base becomes more apparent under warm artificial lighting and recedes slightly in cooler daylight.

It coordinates well with Benjamin Moore White Dove as a trim color, while Lenox Tan and Palladian Blue provide tonal contrast. Hale Navy anchors it in deeper schemes, and Classic Gray offers a quieter wall companion.
