Benjamin Moore

Lavender Wash

CSP-515

Lavender Wash is an extremely pale lavender that leans heavily into cool gray territory, with only the faintest violet cast visible under certain lighting conditions. Its LRV of 64.79 makes it a strong light reflector that functions almost as a tinted neutral. It combines naturally with Gray Owl or Stonington Gray for a coordinated cool-gray scheme, while Newburyport Blue or Kendall Charcoal provide effective contrast.

Swiss Coffee or Simply White on trim soften the overall composition and keep it from feeling too uniformly cool.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
