Benjamin Moore

Sweet 16

1310

Sweet 16 is a light pink with restrained red undertones that keep the color soft rather than pastel-heavy. Its LRV of 63.72 allows it to reflect a good amount of light while maintaining visible color. The shade works well in bedrooms, nurseries, or low-traffic living areas where subtle color is appropriate.

It pairs cleanly with Chantilly Lace to maintain brightness. For contrast, Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal introduce darker structure without clashing with the pink base.
