Benjamin Moore

Kitten Whiskers

1003 / CC-426

Kitten Whiskers reads as a warm gray carrying a faint pink undertone that softens its overall appearance. At an LRV of 64.69, it reflects a moderate amount of light, making it functional in rooms with limited natural exposure without appearing washed out. The pink cast becomes more apparent in warm lighting conditions and recedes under cooler daylight.

It coordinates well with White Dove for trim, Pale Oak on adjacent walls, or Kendall Charcoal as an accent. Chelsea Gray and Blushing Bride also work within the same scheme to build depth or maintain softness.

Kitten Whiskers in Different Light
