What color is Benjamin Moore Rosetta?
Benjamin Moore Rosetta 038 is a light, muted blush with a clear peachy-beige cast. Its softened red undertone keeps it warm without reading overly pink, giving walls a gentle wash of color rather than a candy-like effect. In bright daylight, Rosetta can appear airy and powdery; under warmer evening lighting, its peach notes become more noticeable. It suits bedrooms, powder rooms, and dining areas, especially alongside creamy whites, pale oak, natural linen, and brushed brass. For contrast, pair this shade with deep olive, charcoal, or a dusty blue-gray in textiles or adjacent rooms.

What are Benjamin Moore Rosetta undertones?
Rosetta is a mid-light, muted soft red. The HEX sample leans red; this describes its measurable digital hue direction, not a hidden paint pigment. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

222, 180, 170
Is Benjamin Moore Rosetta cool or warm?
warm
cool
At 12° on the HSL hue wheel, this Red sits firmly on the warm side.
038 Rosetta HSL code: 12, 44%, 77%
Hue - degree on a color wheel from 0 to 360. 0 is red, 120 is green, and 240 is blue.
Saturation is expressed as a percentage. At 0%, it appears as a shade of grey, and at 100%, it is in full color.
Lightness is also a percentage value. 0% is black, and 100% is white.
How light temperature affects Rosetta
Natural Lighting. During the day, natural light shifts from about 2000 K at sunrise/sunset to 5500–6500 K at noon.
In addition, natural-light temperature depends on its direction:
| Direction of sunlight | Visible temp. | Hue | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| North | Cool | Bluish | All day |
| East | Warm | Yellow | Before noon |
| West | Warm | Orange-red | After noon |
| South | Warm | Orange-yellow | All day |
Artificial Lighting. When choosing bulbs, pay attention to their color temperature in Kelvins.

Monochromatic color scheme
This scheme consists of various shades, tints, and tones of a single color. While it offers a perfect combination of hues, without accent décor it may become monotonous.
Lighter shades
Darker shades
Complementary color scheme
This color scheme is a combination of two shades that are opposite each other on the color wheel. The high contrast between these colors creates a vibrant and dynamic visual effect. For the color Rosetta with a red hue, complementary colors are those with a green hue close to 192, such as Benjamin Moore Aegean Teal and Blue Lace.
LRV of Rosetta
Rosetta has an LRV of 49.74% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 49.74%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
