Benjamin Moore’s color of the year 2020: First Light 2102-70 is a soft, rosy heu blooming with potential. An uplifting blush hue, soft but not to sweet.
““We selected First Light 2102-70 as our Color of the Year 2020 to represent a new dawn of idealism, design and living,” said Andrea Magno, Benjamin Moore’s Director of Color Marketing and Development. “First Light 2102-70 reflects a new definition of the home—a shift in mindset from the material to satisfying the core needs in life: community, comfort, security, self-expression, authenticity and ultimately, optimism.””
The team of Benjamin Moore worked a yearlong to come with the first color for the new decade. They observe what is happening in art, fashion, design, cultural influences from around the world. A positive approach, a fresh start for a bright new decade.

Pink was often the color to go for when decorating a nursery, little girl’s rooms, teashops. But times have changed and pink is now a color you can even use in office spaces without being afraid to get criticized for bad taste. Combine First Light with black for a very stylish and elegant bedroom. And suddenly pink is no longer to feminine.

First Light with a fresh green tone for a modern exotic look. Summer will be in the house all year round with such a combination. The green will accentuate a bit more the yellow in the pink color. It is always important that you put colors next to each other when you make new combinations.

Bring life to your grey kitchen, pair it with First Light for a very sophisticated look. There are colder greys and warmer greys, depending on the undertone of the color. Grey always tend to be colder, so a fresh pink as First Light will be a surprising combination.
