About Romantica
Romantica (045) is a mid-tone, muted pink from Benjamin Moore. With an LRV of 55, Romantica has visible color without darkening a room much.
In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Romantica'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 Peach Mousse (1199); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.
