About Shell Pink
Shell Pink (883) is a very light warm white from Benjamin Moore with a warm peach undertone. With an LRV of 84, Shell 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 Shell Pink's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward.
