About Powder Pink

Powder Pink (2009-70) is a very light warm white from Benjamin Moore with a soft pink undertone. With an LRV of 84, Powder Pink 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 Powder Pink's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for whole-house walls, living rooms, bedrooms and trim with a deeper wall color. It's very close to Touch of Pink (2008-70); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.
