Benjamin Moore

First Crush

CSP-310

First Crush is a light neutral with beige and soft blush undertones. With an LRV of 71.99, it reflects a high amount of light while retaining visible color. The undertone structure keeps it from reading gray or yellow.

It works well in bedrooms, living areas, and spaces with variable daylight. It layers easily with Benjamin Moore whites such as White Dove and Simply White. Deeper neutrals like Kendall Charcoal or Hale Navy provide contrast, while soft greens or muted pinks reinforce its undertone family.
