Benjamin Moore

True Pink

2003-40

True Pink (Benjamin Moore) is a medium-saturation pink with red undertones and an LRV of 35.73, positioning it in the mid-range for light reflectance. The red base prevents it from reading pastel, giving it a definite warmth. Pink Bliss and Rosy Outlook offer softer analogous pairings within Benjamin Moore's lineup.

For contrast, Newburyport Blue and Kendall Charcoal create a sharp value difference against the pink ground. Gray Owl works as a neutral bridge that does not compete with the color's warm red undertone.
