Benjamin Moore

Summer Melon

2168-50

Summer Melon is a warm pastel with soft pink undertones that lean slightly toward peach. An LRV of 65.18 gives it moderate brightness while still offering visible color presence on the wall. It is often used in bedrooms, nurseries, or informal living areas where softer hues are preferred.

The color responds well to warm lighting and remains stable in daylight. It pairs cleanly with White Dove for contrast and with Coral Essence for tonal continuity. Muted greens like Sea Haze or deeper colors such as Hale Navy help ground the palette.
