Benjamin Moore

Frosted Toffee

988

Frosted Toffee is a light taupe with gray and beige undertones and an LRV of 63.86, providing moderate light reflectance suitable for main living areas. The dusty quality comes from balanced warm and cool undertones that prevent the color from reading too yellow or too gray. This shade works in living rooms, bedrooms, and home offices where a neutral backdrop is needed.

Frosted Toffee pairs naturally with Benjamin Moore's White Dove for trim, coordinates with Edgecomb Gray in open layouts, and works alongside Revere Pewter. Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal offer effective contrast.
