Clementine Rose

Benjamin Moore · 1219

The Analysis

Clementine Rose is a muted, earthy peach-pink that leans heavily into warm terracotta tones. With an LRV of 51.76, it sits right in the middle of the light-reflectance scale, meaning it won’t make a dark room look bright, but it will add significant warmth to any space.

This shade works best as a main wall colour in social areas where you want to foster conversation. It is bold enough to serve as a statement but muted enough to act as a sophisticated backdrop for artwork or wood furniture.

LRV 52

History & Origin

It draws inspiration from mid-century interiors and Mediterranean design traditions. It avoids the 'nursery' look often associated with pinks, opting instead for a mature, earthy palette that feels established and timeless.

How to Use It

This colour excels in living rooms or dining areas paired with medium-to-dark walnut wood tones. Use matte black metal hardware to sharpen the look, or brushed brass to lean into its warm, vintage undertones.

The Mood

Living with this colour feels grounding and balanced rather than hyper-energizing. It provides a steady, welcoming atmosphere that feels less sterile than white and less overwhelming than a bright primary colour.

Colour harmonies

Complementary

Opposite on the colour wheel — bold, high-contrast pairings. Use for a feature wall or furniture you want to command attention.

Analogous

Neighbouring hues — cohesive and calm, great for layered schemes that feel collected rather than matched.

Split complementary

Near-opposites for strong contrast with a little less tension than a pure complement. A favourite of interior designers.

Triadic

Three evenly spaced hues — balanced, vibrant, and versatile. Keep one dominant and use the others sparingly.

Tetradic (square)

Four hues in a square on the wheel — rich, dynamic palettes. Best when one colour leads and the others accent.

Monochromatic

Dark, mid, and light steps on the same hue — a failsafe gradient for trim, walls, and accents without shifting colour family.
