About Wythe Rose
Wythe Rose (CW-225) is a deep, medium-strength pink from Benjamin Moore. With an LRV of 32, Wythe Rose 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 Wythe Rose'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 Soft Cranberry (2094-40); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.
