Benjamin Moore

Knitting Basket

CSP-405

Knitting Basket is a mid-toned beige with warm undertones that lean slightly toward taupe rather than golden yellow. Its LRV of 48.42 positions it near the center of the reflectance scale, offering moderate light return without appearing overly bright or heavy. The warmth is restrained, making it compatible with both cool and warm adjacent colors.

White Dove and Muslin coordinate as lighter options for trim and ceilings. Hale Navy or Newburg Green supply contrast for accents, while Gray Owl and Revere Pewter support a quiet, layered neutral arrangement.
