Benjamin Moore

Custis Salmon

CW-215

Custis Salmon is a warm, earthy salmon from Benjamin Moore, historically derived from hand-mixed white and red iron oxide pigments found on an 18th-century home near Williamsburg. Its LRV of 41.28 puts it in the mid-reflectance range, giving it enough lightness to function as a primary wall color. The red iron oxide base lends a grounded, muted warmth rather than a bright pink tone.

It coordinates with White Dove and Ballet White as lighter companions, while Hale Navy and Caldwell Green provide deeper contrast. Palladian Blue offers a cool counterpoint.
