Pink Moiré
What Pink Moiré Actually Looks Like
Pink Moiré CC-158 reads as a very light, hushed blush with a peachy warmth underneath. It sits closer to skin tone than to a classic candy pink, which gives it a grounded, livable quality that many pinks lack. In bright natural light it can feel almost like a warm white with a blush cast. In dimmer or artificial light it settles into a more noticeable soft pink.
Pink Moiré Undertones
The color carries peachy, warm undertones rather than cool or blue-leaning ones. That warmth keeps it from feeling clinical or saccharine. It leans toward the apricot side of the blush spectrum, so it reads differently than a straightforward baby pink.
Where Pink Moiré Works Best
Pink Moiré works well in rooms where you want warmth without committing to a deeply saturated color. Bedrooms and sitting rooms benefit most because the soft peachy quality reads as calm rather than stimulating. It can also work in a bathroom or dressing room where natural light is limited, since the warmth compensates for cooler artificial light. Avoid it in rooms flooded with harsh south-facing light, where it can wash out almost entirely.
Where to put Pink Moiré
In a bedroom, Pink Moiré creates a warm, restful atmosphere without demanding attention. Keep bedding in off-whites or soft taupes to let the blush read cleanly, and use wood tones in furniture to reinforce the peachy warmth rather than fight it.
In a bathroom, the peachy undertone plays well against warm brass or gold fixtures. Pair it with white tile grout and natural stone countertops to avoid the room feeling overly sweet. Matte or eggshell finish will soften reflections and keep the color looking even.
Pink Moiré is gentle enough for a nursery without locking the room into a single-use look. Because it sits closer to peach than bubblegum pink, it ages better as the child grows and avoids the dated look of saturated pinks.
Used in a smaller sitting room or study, this color adds intimacy. Warm-toned upholstery in caramel or rust will pull the peachy quality forward. Cooler grays or stark whites as accents can make it feel unbalanced, so stick to warm neutrals throughout.

Colors that clash with Pink Moiré
Cool or blue-leaning grays pull against the peachy warmth of Pink Moiré, making the wall color look muddy or uncertain rather than intentional.
A stark, blue-white trim can make Pink Moiré look slightly dirty or off by comparison, especially in north-facing rooms where the color is already working hard to stay warm.
Deep jewel tones like emerald or sapphire can overpower a color this light and muted, turning Pink Moiré into a background that disappears entirely.
Common questions
Pink Moiré has an LRV of 71.9, which puts it solidly in the light range. Colors above 50 read as light on the wall, and at nearly 72 this one will feel quite airy in most lighting conditions. It will not darken a room.
Yes, CC-158 is listed as an interior color. If you need a similar peachy blush for an exterior application, ask your Benjamin Moore retailer about exterior-formula options in a comparable hue.
Eggshell is a reliable choice for most bedrooms. It gives just enough sheen to be wipeable while keeping the color looking soft. Flat finish will read the warmest and most matte, but it is harder to clean. Avoid satin or semi-gloss in a bedroom, as the added sheen tends to intensify lighter colors and make imperfections more visible.
It can, but manage your expectations. North-facing light is cooler and bluer, which works against the peachy warmth of Pink Moiré. The color can still read as a warm blush in that setting, but it will lean slightly more pink and less peach than it would in warmer light. Sample it on the actual wall and check it at multiple times of day before committing.
