Benjamin Moore

Deserted Island

OC-99 / 948

Deserted Island is an off-white with warm undertones and an LRV of 75.86, making it a high-reflectance option for walls and trim. The warm base prevents it from reading as stark or cool under natural light. It functions well as a full-room color in spaces that benefit from light amplification.

Suitable same-brand pairings include Benjamin Moore's White Dove, Pale Oak, Wind's Breath, and Ballet White for a tonal warm-neutral palette. It is compatible with both modern and traditional interior treatments.
