Benjamin Moore

Tomato Cream Sauce

2089-40

Tomato Cream Sauce (Benjamin Moore) is a muted orange-red with a creamy, softened cast and an LRV of 40.42, placing it in the mid-range for reflectance. The muting keeps it from reading as a saturated red, instead producing a warm, blush-adjacent coral tone. It works with White Dove or Simply White for clean contrast, Newburyport Blue or Salamander for deeper complementary pairings, and Peach Parfait or Pink Bliss as lighter analogous companions that extend its warm, soft red-orange direction.
