About Lip Gloss
Lip Gloss (CSP-1160) is a deep, medium-strength red from Benjamin Moore that leans pink. With an LRV of 23, Lip Gloss 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 Lip Gloss'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. It's very close to Persimmon (2088-40); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.
How Lip Gloss changes with the light
Lip Gloss 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

South-facing rooms
In strong south light Lip Gloss can turn noticeably more yellow or orange; test a sample at midday.
West-facing rooms
Lip Gloss will glow warmer in the late afternoon, so check it at sunset if you want to avoid a strong yellow cast.
