2019 is over—gone for good. A new year (and a new decade) is the perfect time to refresh the spaces where we live. Whether you’re moving into a new place or giving an old one new life, color is the easiest way to set the tone for the year ahead.
Meet the Color: Benjamin Moore’s First Light 2102-70
Benjamin Moore’s 2020 Color of the Year is First Light 2102-70, a soft, modern pink with a clean, airy feel. It’s bright yet calm, warm yet subtle—designed to bounce light around a room and make the whole home feel more welcoming.
Why First Light Works
Think of the moment when the sun first rises and the night is officially over—that gentle, hopeful light is what First Light brings indoors. It blends the radiance of pink with the balance of white, creating a flattering tone that lifts a space without overwhelming it.
How It Makes Rooms Feel
After a noisy, busy day, you want your home to greet you with calm. First Light does exactly that. Its soft glow helps dial down the gray of gloomy days and adds quiet optimism to living rooms, bedrooms, nurseries, and entryways.
Where to Use It
- Living rooms: Brightens the space and pairs well with wood, cream, and natural textures.
- Bedrooms: Creates a soothing, restful atmosphere without feeling cold.
- Kitchens & breakfast nooks: Adds warmth and light for a welcoming start to the day.
- Accent walls: Use as a feature color behind a sofa or headboard for a soft statement.
Style Tips & Pairings
- Neutrals: Combine with warm whites, soft grays, and light taupes.
- Finishes: Matte or eggshell for walls; satin on trim for a crisp edge.
- Materials: Natural woods, linen, rattan, and brushed brass look great alongside it.
