About Pink Popsicle
Pink Popsicle (2001-40) is a deep, bold pink from Benjamin Moore. With an LRV of 36, Pink Popsicle 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 Pink Popsicle'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. It's very close to Strawberry Shortcake (2000-40); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.
