About Heirloom
Heirloom (023) is a light pink from Benjamin Moore with a warm peach undertone. With an LRV of 73, Heirloom reflects most of the light that hits it, which helps small or dim rooms feel larger.
In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Heirloom's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for bedrooms, nurseries, powder rooms and accent walls. Next to Rosebud (065), it's cooler.
How Heirloom changes with the light
Heirloom has a strong warm undertone that balances cool north light well. In strong south or west sun it can look more golden, so check a sample at midday and in the late afternoon.
North-facing rooms
Heirloom's warmth balances the cool north light, which is why warmer colors are the safe pick for north rooms.
East-facing rooms
Heirloom will look warmer and brighter in the morning and cooler and grayer by afternoon; check a sample at both times.
South-facing rooms
In strong south light Heirloom can turn noticeably more yellow or orange; test a sample at midday.
West-facing rooms
Heirloom will glow warmer in the late afternoon, so check it at sunset if you want to avoid a strong yellow cast.
