Benjamin Moore

Taste of Berry

2085-40

Taste of Berry (Benjamin Moore) is a deep pink with violet undertones that push it toward the mauve-to-berry range. At an LRV of 30.41, it sits in the moderate reflectance zone, reading as a definitive mid-tone rather than a pastel or a dark accent. The violet content distinguishes it from warmer corals or pure reds.

Lavender Mist and Pink Damask provide analogous coordination within the pink-to-purple range. Woodland Hills Green and Midsummer Night offer contrasting depth from the cool and dark side. Balboa Mist works as a neutral bridge for adjacent surfaces.
