Foxglove Bloom
What Foxglove Bloom Actually Looks Like
Foxglove Bloom is a bold, deep berry-pink that leans toward raspberry with a clear red-pink intensity. It is not a soft blush or a muted mauve. It reads as a fully committed, jewel-toned pink-red that commands the room it is in. In strong natural light it opens up slightly, showing more of its warm red-pink core. In dim or artificial light it darkens toward a rich burgundy-adjacent tone that feels close and enveloping. North-facing rooms with low light can push it even deeper, almost toward a dark wine.
Foxglove Bloom Undertones
The dominant undertone is red-pink, which means it carries warmth rather than the cool blue-violet that some deep pinks lean into. There is no gray or brown muddying the tone, and it reads as genuinely saturated rather than dusty. In warm incandescent or tungsten lighting the red component strengthens. In cool daylight the pink side asserts itself more cleanly. It does not have a significant orange pull, which keeps it from reading coral.
Where Foxglove Bloom Works Best
Foxglove Bloom is an interior color. Because of its very low light reflectance it absorbs a significant amount of light, which makes it most successful in spaces where dramatic, immersive color is the goal. It is not a whole-room color for every space, but it rewards commitment. A powder room, a dining room used primarily in the evening, a bedroom accent wall, or a small study are all natural fits. It also works as a single painted door or a built-in bookcase interior where you want a pop of concentrated color without overtaking the whole room. Avoid it in already-dark rooms with no supplemental lighting unless the low-light mood is intentional.
Where to put Foxglove Bloom
This is the sweet spot for Foxglove Bloom. A powder room is small, people spend short stretches of time in it, and it is the one space where going all-in on an intense color reads intentional rather than overwhelming. Pair it with warm brass fixtures and a simple white or cream trim to let the color breathe without competing elements.
An evening-use dining room responds well to Foxglove Bloom because candlelight and warm overhead fixtures will draw out the deep red-pink and create a warm, intimate atmosphere. Keep the ceiling a crisp white to add contrast and prevent the room from feeling closed in during daytime use.
Use Foxglove Bloom on the wall behind the headboard to anchor the room without committing all four walls to such an intense color. Balance it with neutral bedding in warm whites, taupes, or soft terracottas so the wall reads as deliberate rather than jarring.
A small study with good task lighting can carry Foxglove Bloom well, especially if the furniture skews dark and the trim is crisp white or near-white. In a room where you want to feel alert and present, this kind of saturated color does real work.
If a full wall feels like too much, paint the back panels of a built-in bookcase with Foxglove Bloom. Books and objects against that deep berry backdrop create strong visual interest, and you get the personality of the color without the intensity of four walls.

Common questions
The LRV is 12.55, which is very low. That means the color absorbs most of the light that hits it rather than reflecting it back into the room. Plan on good supplemental lighting if you are using it in a space that already lacks natural light. In a well-lit room it reads as a rich, saturated berry-pink. In a dim room it will feel much darker and closer to a deep wine.
A flat or matte finish will give the color a velvety, deeply saturated look that suits moody rooms like bedrooms and dining rooms. An eggshell or satin finish will make it slightly easier to clean and will add a subtle glow that helps in spaces with less natural light. Avoid a high gloss unless it is on trim or a single door, where the shine is intentional.
Deep, saturated colors like this one typically require two coats over a tinted primer. Ask your Benjamin Moore retailer to tint the primer toward the color before you begin. Trying to go one coat over a white or pale primer will almost certainly result in uneven coverage and a streaky result.
It reads as a strong pink-red, closer to a raspberry or berry than a true red or a soft pink. The red component comes forward in warm light and the pink side is more visible in cool daylight. It is definitively not a pastel, a blush, or a muted mauve.
