Benjamin Moore

Southern Charm

1173 / HC-58

Southern Charm is a muted rosy tone at an LRV of 48.67, placing it near the middle of the light-dark scale. The pink undertone is subdued and leans toward a warm clay rather than a clean rose, which tempers its overall chromatic impact. It does not dominate a room but reads as distinctly warm against cooler surfaces.

Soft Pink and Gentle Butterfly extend the rosy palette in lighter and adjacent values. Hale Navy and Black Forest Green supply strong cool contrast, while White Dove and Edgecomb Gray function as neutral companions that reduce the apparent saturation.

Southern Charm 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.
