Benjamin Moore

Abalone

2108-60

Abalone by Benjamin Moore is a light gray with a faint mauve undertone that prevents it from reading too cool or flat. With an LRV of 61.99, it reflects a moderate amount of light and suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a quiet neutral is needed. The slight mauve lean helps it stay warmer than a straight gray, particularly on north-facing walls.

It layers well with Classic Gray and Balboa Mist in a tonal scheme, while Revere Pewter can anchor adjacent trim. For sharper contrast, Hale Navy works on doors or built-ins.

Abalone in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
