Benjamin Moore

Lilac Hush

CSP-490

Lilac Hush is a warm gray with faint violet undertones that surface mainly in cooler, north-facing light. At an LRV of 63.89, it falls in the upper-mid range, light enough to open up a room but dark enough to read as a distinct color. White Dove or Classic Gray serve as clean trim options that won't clash with the subtle purple cast.

Hale Navy or Stormy Sky provide solid contrast. For a softer, layered approach, Soft Fern or Sea Foam Green introduce gentle chromatic variety.
