Benjamin Moore

Calm

2111-70 / OC-22

Calm is a warm white with a subtle lavender-gray undertone. With an LRV of 75.83, it reflects a high amount of light while staying muted. It works in bedrooms, living rooms, or hallways where a soft neutral is required.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore White Dove or Simply White for trim and ceilings. Classic Gray or Balboa Mist extend the neutral range without shifting the undertone. In warmer light, the undertone stays present and the color can deepen slightly.

Calm in Different Light
