Cream Puff

The Basics

What are people saying about this color?

How do you feel about pink?!? When our middle daughter said she wanted a pink bedroom, I knew we had to be strategic. Pink done wrong is VERY wrong! However, pink done right is VERY sweet! After browsing through our many paint decks, we landed on cream puff by Benjamin Moore. It is timeless, subtle, and the perfect muted pink! We hope she loves this space for years to come!

As light as a gossamer veil, this almost-white pale pink is perfect when just a wisp of color is desired.

What kind of spaces does it work best in?

Some say pink is a new neutral, and this one is light enough that you could pull that off. That said, it will feel more at home in delicate spaces.

Where could you expect to see it?

This shade looks great with wood floors or furniture, or with the green of plants or gardens. I would love to see a tea shop or garden cottage in this shade. I could even see it in a modern record or book store with wood floors and shelves. Call me crazy, I could even see it in an innovative ad or design agency's conference room paired with bold primary colors and wood.

Who shouldn't pick this color?

In a north facing room this color might just read light purple or lilac, which might not be what you're going for.

Any pro tips?

What colors does it go well with?

What's the LRV?

83.84. LRV measures the Light Reflectance Value, meaning the percentage of light (0-100) that bounces off a surface. 100 being purest white and 0 being purest black. Like other light pinks, Cream Puff has a rather high LRV, meaning it reflects a rather high amount of light.

Does it work as an exterior color?

Yes please, let's see this on a garden cottage!
