Benjamin Moore

Venetian Rose

1292

Venetian Rose (Benjamin Moore) is a muted mid-tone pink with red undertones that prevent it from drifting toward peach or lavender. At an LRV of 39.98, it falls in the medium-light range, reflecting a moderate amount of light while maintaining visible color saturation. The red base gives it a dusty, grayed-down warmth that distinguishes it from brighter pinks.

White Sand, Mauve Desert, Hale Navy, Wrought Iron, and Avocado from the Benjamin Moore palette each offer workable pairings, whether used for close tonal layering or stronger value contrast.

Venetian Rose 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.
