What color is Benjamin Moore Paradise Pink?

Benjamin Moore Paradise Pink 2078-40 is a mid-tone pink with a noticeable rosy-magenta cast, based on its #DC85A6 color value. It has enough color to read clearly on a wall without becoming neon or overly sugary, landing closer to a softened berry pink than a pale blush. In bright daylight, the pink can appear cleaner and more vivid, while lower light may bring out its slightly deeper rose quality. Paradise Pink suits a powder room, bedroom accent wall, painted dresser, or the interior of built-in shelving where a defined shot of color feels appropriate. Pair it with warm white trim, light oak, brushed brass, charcoal, or muted plum accents for contrast.
