First Light
A soft blush tone plucked right out of a painted sunset sky, “First Light” is a fresh alternative to white, beige, or gray from Benjamin Moore. Andre Magno, Benjamin Moore’s director of color marketing and development, says, “We selected First Light 2102-70 as our color of the year 2020 to represent a new dawn of idealism, design and living. 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.” This blush tone pairs gorgeously with soft greens, blues, and golds, a pallette right out of the flower bed.
