Benjamin Moore

Tara

1270

Tara (Benjamin Moore) is a medium-light pink with red undertones that give it a warm, rosy quality. At an LRV of 53.43, it reflects a moderate amount of light and reads as a soft, mid-tone pink rather than a pastel or a bold saturated hue. The red base keeps it from appearing cool or lavender-shifted.

Coral Essence and Peach Parfait work as analogous companions in warm pink-to-peach schemes. Kendall Charcoal provides a strong dark neutral contrast, and Simply White or Chantilly Lace function as clean, high-reflectance trim pairings.

Tara 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.
