First, go to a crafts/art store and buy a dozen poster boards. Then get several sample jars of colors you like. Paint the poster boards, then tack them up in the room on one wall. After a day or two, move them to a different wall. Drapes opened and closed, lights on or natural light, morning, noon, afternoon, dusk, night will all affect how you see the colors.

As others have said here and you can see in the photos, the same color can look very different depending on time of day and what light is hitting it. In the original photo, the pink right under the mirror looks different from the pink over the top and both are different from the pink on the wall to the right.

Thanks for the advice - good advice! BM Watermelon looks like a possibility to try. What about BM Rose Parade? Thank you!

Just popping on to say that I love it! And kudos to you for picking a bold choice... please post pictures of your space if you decide to use it!

Sorry must have been having a bad day but I think those colors are awesome in small doses wht might look awesome in a picture does not always translate to actual life. Reds are IMO a great neutral but when they beocome hot pink best done with accessories and maybe one awesome chair and a throw on a sofa.

I agree. Looking for reddish-pink that is more red than pink. Any more BM suggestions? Tend to prefer BM. Thank you!

I used to play around the Benjamin Moore website, looking for colours that tickled my fancy. Here's the link to the red family. (Mediterranean Spice looks promising on my screen.) Any time I discovered colours that intrigued me on my screen, I'd be disappointed in the store when I'd look at the paint chip. My local BM stores have experienced colour consultants and they find me perfect colour options when I describe what I want to them.

That is most likely a custom color. You can search till the cows come home or you can find a different source . Have it color matched. Design this room carefully as your inspiration room surely is as this is not an easy color! I do love pink but it can go childish quickly which is probably what Patricia May have been worried about. Inspiration photos by world class designers such as AB are truly wonderful but great thought and talent went into every color choice of that room and simply finding what color was used won’t guarantee success for yours. I’m not trying to discourage you; I’m trying to encourage you to plan the overall look before painting.

I have no idea what the color is, but, I do like it. When you get it all painted, would you please post a picture. So nice to see someone using color, instead of beige, greige, tans, etc. I love rooms with color.

That is going to be a "WoW" room. Please post it when you're done.

Years ago, a designer picked out "BM Mardi Gras" for my laundry room, along with fabric with just had a touch of this color, and cream color paint for cabinets. Not something I'd ever pick, but years later I still love it. It's a deep reddish-pink, but not overly bright. It looks more pink in my room but I've got a big window there. Sorry can't post a pic, I don't know how.

One article says the room is Pantone Honeysuckle

Thanks! That Patone color looks more pink. I reached out to the designer’s company to ask them but not sure if/when will hear back.

I guess you hit a nerve on this color, but it's pretty and classic and looks good with food. Here is what Sherwin Williams says the colors might be but it varies from image to image just like it does on the computer monitors.

Braca did the project back in 2011, so 8 years is a long time to track something down. However, she uses a red color in most of her projects.

Thank you!!!

OP, did any of the shades you've tested require a deep base primer?

http://www2.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/for-architects-and-designers/deep-base-primers

If they do, you will get roughly the same result by doing 3 or 4 coats (let dry between coats and let cure after last one to see true shade) on your sample surface.

Great point. I don’t think our samples included the right primer or 3-4 coats with drying in between. Thank you!!!

Benjamin Moore Peony 2079-30 or Currant Red 1323 would be two good choices too, in my opinion. On my computer, your photo looks more pink than the one in hollybar's link.

Oh what fun. I think it could look fantastic. And don’t go too red. Yawn. My daughter has a razzle-dazzle ceiling and it looks great. Might be too hot pink but check it out.

I posted some ideas last night but I don’t see them. I imagine this is custom color but played with BM colors to get a starting point. They won’t look right on monitors but gets you in right area anyway. The color as I measured it is in the Red Hue family. Let us know how it works out.

Thank you everyone! Thank you Flo for your followup today! I am more hopeful to find this color now!

What do you all think of BM Rose Parade 2086-20? Too magenta and heavy?

On my monitor, it looks like a pretty good match to your first inspo pic walls.

I will test it and post the results. Need about 30 min.

The paint store will likely have a computer. Email the website/pic to yourself so you and the expert at the paint store can look it up together at the store. That way you can get help to zero in on your color choice.

You're going to have to get some samples and try them on your walls. your lighting will have an effect on the color. What about BM Rose Quartz?

has a bit more coral to it, but it's a nice shade.

Rose Parade, is nice,,,a bit more pink/lilac.

any of those top/left middles ones are nice

SW colors

some others that lean more red.

just depends on your lighting.

Here you go. I did a scan and analysis of BM Rose Parade and just for comparison I added BM Rosy Blush-2086-30. You can see these colors are in the Red Purple Hue family. The are both pretty dark or saturated with LRVs at 13.2 and 20 approximately. They will tend to go purple so samples are needed. Get samples from sampilize.com. They are true paint, and will save you a ton of money. Plus you can place on different walls to get the impact of your natural light and artificial lighting. These deep colors require a deep base and you can’t get samples with dark base. So you really need to get these.

Here is Color Strategist Color Wheel. You can take the Hue angle and other elements and see what they mean on this chart.

The numbers on the outside edge are the Hue Angle numbers. L=lightness; C=Chroma level; the number is the Hue Angle. That tells you where on the color chart this color sits.

These are examples of SW Eros Pink

It appears to have more purple/magenta in it than the color you're showing.

I think the key word you may want to consider color wise is RASPBERRY.

Ben Moores Raspberry Pudding may be a strong contender

Thanks everyone! We actually got BM Rose Parade paint to sample. Now thinking it might be too magenta-purplish but will see how the sample looks. Based on more feedback from you all, now seems like maybe SW Feverish Pink or BM Watermelon Red or something with Raspberry may be closer. This is hard!!

For the suggestion of BM Rose Quartz, I looked at that one but the description of it actually says red-orange so like was suggested, too coral/orange. But thanks for the suggestion.

It will be hard but it is just. Paint. Have FUN!

SW Eros Pink has an LRV of 19-22 (depending on source of measurement); it is in the Red Hue family (cool). The level of Chroma is high the lightness is medium.

Thanks Flo. SW Eros Pink seems a bit too pink but helpful info. Yes fun, and yes just paint! :)

Between all the berry, blush, rose, and melon colors here, fun to determine which is the best! Raspberry, Strawberry, Watermelon, Rose, Blush, Rose, Berry, Sorbet - or a combo of some of these!

Looks like Red Tulip to me. I’ve used it in a (grownup’s) room and it’s the perfect balance of red-pink-orange. The “raspberry“ shades tend too blue, at least for what you describe. Use the tinted primer and good luck.

Wow I really like the red tulip! Looks good w white chocolate in the 2nd pic

Looks like color chart I posted never attached. Here ya go

Can anyone tell the difference between BM Red Tulip (2000-30) and BM Spring Tulips (2001-30)? Which has more orange in it? Hard to tell the difference between them. I assume Red Tulip is more red and Spring Tulips is more pink, but so close. Thank you!

I will do analysis. That will scientifically answer your question. Bbl

Thank you Flo!

OK, I have the DNA of each color. They are very close, and it might surprise you what the numbers indicate. The main feature is the Hue Angle. Red Tulip has a Hue Angle of 27.8 or 28. That puts this color in the Warm Red family and leaning toward Yellow/Red family. (so more orange possibly depending on your light) It has an LRV of from 20.5-23 depending on the source I use. So intense and low on the "reflective light" spectrum. Spring Tulips has an LRV 20.2-23.7 again two different sources I used so also intense and non-reflective. It's Hue Angle is 21.8. So, it is almost dead on the center of the Red Hue family, slightly into the Warm segment and with this location, it will read most "red". If you look at the Color Strategist Wheel I posted above and look where 21 on the degrees at the edge of the Wheel shows at 15-18 approximately you would be in the Red/Purple-cool segment. So Spring Tulips will "read" less orange and more toward purple. Slightly, but that is the scientific difference. The Lightness factor and the Chroma factors are nearly the same. 55.4; 58 for Red Tulip and 55.8;59 for Spring Tulips. So the difference is in what Hue Family it falls into that will reveal itself once on the wall. Again, these notations are based on readings with a "approved D65*2" Illuminant. Now you know why people trained in this technology and science can pick colors without actually seeing the paint color or testing on site! Of course, color is all "perceived" light so each person sees color differently. Men in particular, tend to be more "color blind" than women based on studies. I often run into this with clients. Once I explain why this is so, they get a real sense of relief that it isn't a competition, but rather a "perception" issue.

Wow, thank you!!! This analysis is very helpful, Flo. Thank you so much!! Really appreciate your help!!!!

Terrific help, FLO!

OP, are you moving away from a pinky red? Is it too late to suggest looking at BM Drop Dead Gorgeous ?

Still looking at a pinky red. Good suggestion for BM Drop Dead Gorgeous. Looks similar to BM Rose Parade. Thank you!!!

Sometimes it helps me to use the BM Color a Room feature. While I could not choose a colour from it alone,it gets me in the ballpark and can show relationships pretty well. https://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/color-overview/find-your-color/color-a-room/1514/dining-room-2?color=2086-20&source=%2Fen-us%2Fcolor-overview%2Ffind-your-color%2Fcolor%2F2086-20%2Frose-parade&combination=1329,2079-20&room=1514

Yes thank you, that dining room with the 3 colors is really helpful to see how the colors compare. Thank you!

Anyone have any thoughts on BM Candy Cane Red 2079-10? Looks kind of dark online but saw a bigger sample size sheet of it, and looks nice as a reddish-pink and more on the red side. Before buying a paint sample of it, would be nice to see it in a real life photo of it, if possible. Of course color changes in lighting, photos etc.

Why did you get only one sample? You should have gotten 3 or 4 and saved a trip. Did you get paint chips too?
