The manufacturer restriction comes first
Benjamin Moore states that Elephant Pink 2087-70 is not recommended as exterior paint. Keep this color decision indoors and ask the manufacturer for an exterior-suitable alternative before planning the facade.
The interior description remains useful: Elephant Pink is a pale pink with a high reflectance value, but its manufacturer excludes exterior use. However, an attractive indoor palette involving cream upholstery and a walnut bedside table does not override the published exterior restriction. Do not treat a digital exterior preview as approval to tint any outside coating to this color.
Keep the desired color direction, change the specification
Describe the quality you want from Elephant Pink—its lightness and color character—to the paint supplier, then request an exterior-approved candidate in the intended product. A nearby screen swatch is only a starting point. Confirm the exact replacement code and product before making a sample panel.
Place the Elephant Pink sample outside beside the roof, masonry, window frame and any surface that will remain unpainted. Examine an open wall and a sheltered area under an eave. Interior materials such as cream upholstery and a walnut bedside table do not establish exterior compatibility. Judge the facade from the street as well as close up, because the amount of painted area is very different from a handheld chip.
Evaluate the replacement as a separate color
The LRV 81.46 belongs to Elephant Pink; do not automatically transfer it to a replacement. Likewise, First Light appears in this site's comparison set for color assessment, not as an independently verified exterior substitute. Check the replacement's manufacturer guidance and sample it on the relevant exterior surface.
Compare the replacement with the roof, brick, window finish and shaded porch. Look at it from the street and under an eave before approving the facade. Keep the supplier's specification with the approved sample. If the desired appearance cannot be achieved within the manufacturer's exterior guidance, revise the palette rather than bypassing the restriction. The trim color comparison covers that related choice. Before ordering samples, compare room-planning features in the paint color visualizer roundup.
