Benjamin Moore

Desert Shadows

2114-30

Desert Shadows is a dark-toned color combining violet and gray undertones, producing a muted, cool-leaning neutral. With an LRV of 11.9, it absorbs a significant amount of light and is best used in well-lit spaces or as an accent. The violet undertone distinguishes it from standard warm grays and becomes more visible under daylight.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore White Dove or Chantilly Lace for high contrast. Lavender Mist and Silver Half Dollar provide lower-contrast coordination that reinforces the violet-gray base.
