Benjamin Moore

Cotton Tail

2155-70

Cotton Tail by Benjamin Moore is a very light yellow with a barely perceptible warm undertone. At an LRV of 86.14, it reflects a large share of ambient light, helping smaller or lower-light rooms feel more open. The yellow cast is restrained enough that the color reads close to white under strong daylight but shows its warmth in shaded conditions.

White Dove and Swiss Coffee coordinate well as trim or ceiling colors within the same tonal family. Hale Navy or Amherst Gray offer clear contrast for accent elements. Pale Avocado extends the warm, muted direction without adding intensity.
