What’s Behind Paint Names
This photo provided by Benjamin Moore shows a room with Benjamin Moor'es 2020 Color of the Year called First Light, a dreamy, soft shade of pink. Director of Color Marketing & Development Andrea Magno says that while the color was already part of the 3500-hue library, "it's always fortuitous when the trend concept and color name complement one another.
