About Italiano Rose
Italiano Rose (2087-30) is a deep, bold red from Benjamin Moore that leans pink. With an LRV of 21, Italiano Rose absorbs more light than it reflects, so it works best in rooms with good natural light or where you want a cozier feel.
In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Italiano Rose's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for dining rooms, accent walls, front doors and libraries. Next to Berry Wine (2003-30), it's cooler and more muted.
How Italiano Rose changes with the light
Italiano Rose 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
Italiano Rose's warmth balances the cool north light, which is why warmer colors are the safe pick for north rooms.
East-facing rooms
Italiano Rose 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 Italiano Rose can turn noticeably more yellow or orange; test a sample at midday.
West-facing rooms
Italiano Rose will glow warmer in the late afternoon, so check it at sunset if you want to avoid a strong yellow cast.
