Wheatberry

2099-70

Wheatberry (1204) is a softly muted pink from Benjamin Moore with a gray undertone that subdues its warmth. It has an LRV of 74.72, placing it in the high-reflectance category where it brightens rooms while maintaining a tinted appearance. The gray component prevents the pink from reading overtly rosy, resulting in a dusty, desaturated effect.

Within the Benjamin Moore line, it coordinates with Classic Gray, Balboa Mist, Kendall Charcoal, Hale Navy, and Whispering Wind. Wheatberry presents as a near-neutral with a pink lean in most lighting conditions.
