More about First Light
First Light, Benjamin Moore's 2020 Color of the Year, is a soft, barely-there blush — a pink so gentle (LRV 76) that it reads almost as a warm neutral. It signaled the move toward warmer, softer palettes and works as a whole-room color in bedrooms and nurseries without reading sweet or childish.
Its faint pink warmth can surface more against cool whites, so keep companions warm. It's most flattering in soft natural light. Behr Victorian Pearl is its closest cross-brand match, with Sherwin-Williams Intimate White very similar.
