Benjamin Moore

Feather Soft

1431

Feather Soft is a medium violet with a blue undertone that shifts it toward the cooler end of the purple range. Its LRV of 56.63 places it in the mid-light category, providing enough reflectance to keep a room from feeling dark while still delivering noticeable color. The blue influence is most visible in daylight and under cool-temperature lighting.

It coordinates well with Benjamin Moore Misty Lilac and Soft Sky for an analogous scheme. Chantilly Lace provides a clean light contrast, and Deep Royal or Forest Floor add depth against it.
