Benjamin Moore

Barren Plain

2111-60

Barren Plain is a light gray with a slight warm undertone that keeps it neutral. Its LRV of 62.12 reflects a moderate amount of light, so it stays light without appearing stark. In cooler light it shifts slightly bluer.

It is suitable for living rooms, bedrooms, or offices where a soft gray is needed. Pair it with White Dove and Balboa Mist for tonal balance, and add Hale Navy or Quiet Moments for contrast.
