Benjamin Moore

Beach Plum

2072-60

Beach Plum is a light lilac with cool undertones that keep it clean. Its LRV of 62.46 reflects a moderate amount of light, so it reads light without turning white. Warm light shifts it slightly pinker.

It is suitable for bedrooms, bathrooms, or small rooms where a soft purple is needed. Pair it with Silver Mist and Iceberg for tonal balance, and add Hale Navy or Black Pepper for contrast.
