Benjamin Moore

Lavender Lipstick

2072-50

Lavender Lipstick is a dusty, mid-toned purple with warm pink undertones tempered by a gray base that keeps it from reading too saturated. Its LRV of 43.82 puts it on the lower side of the mid-range, so it holds noticeable presence on a wall without darkening a room significantly. It harmonizes with Silver Half Dollar and Violet Mist for a layered tonal approach, while Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal offer firm contrast.

Pairing it with Simply White or White Dove on trim provides a clean, grounding edge.
