About Romance
Romance (1333) is a mid-tone, medium-strength pink from Benjamin Moore. With an LRV of 54, Romance has visible color without darkening a room much.
In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Romance'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 Confetti (1311); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.
How Romance changes with the light
Romance 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
Romance's warmth balances the cool north light, which is why warmer colors are the safe pick for north rooms.
East-facing rooms
Romance 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 Romance can turn noticeably more yellow or orange; test a sample at midday.
West-facing rooms
Romance will glow warmer in the late afternoon, so check it at sunset if you want to avoid a strong yellow cast.
