About Rose Quartz
Rose Quartz (2002-30) is a deep, bold red from Benjamin Moore that leans pink. With an LRV of 24, Rose Quartz 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 Rose Quartz'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. Next to Spring Tulips (2001-30), it's lighter and warmer.
How Rose Quartz changes with the light
Rose Quartz 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
Rose Quartz's warmth balances the cool north light, which is why warmer colors are the safe pick for north rooms.
East-facing rooms
Rose Quartz 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 Rose Quartz can turn noticeably more yellow or orange; test a sample at midday.
West-facing rooms
Rose Quartz will glow warmer in the late afternoon, so check it at sunset if you want to avoid a strong yellow cast.
