About Wild Pink
Wild Pink (2080-40) is a deep, medium-strength red from Benjamin Moore that leans pink. With an LRV of 29, Wild Pink 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 Wild 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 dining rooms, accent walls, front doors and libraries. Next to Taste of Berry (2085-40), it's warmer and more colorful.
