Dusty Mauve

2174-40

Dusty Mauve is a muted rosy pink with subtle red undertones that keep it warm without becoming overtly pink. It has an LRV of 35.07, placing it in the moderate-to-low reflectance range, which gives it a grounded presence on walls. The color works in bedrooms, living rooms, and entryways where a warm tone is appropriate.

For neutral pairing, use Benjamin Moore White Dove or Classic Gray. Hale Navy and Kendall Charcoal provide strong contrast, while Saybrook Sage offers a complementary green counterpoint within the same brand.
