Benjamin Moore

Malted Milk

2099-60

Malted Milk is a light warm neutral with dusty pink undertones that give it a faintly rosy cast, distinguishing it from standard beige or cream tones. Its LRV of 60.23 provides strong light reflectance, making it functional as a near-neutral wall color that still carries subtle warmth. The pink lean is restrained and reads more as softness than overt color, though it can become more pronounced under warm artificial lighting.

Pair it with Desert Tan or Stone House for tonal coordination, introduce depth with Stormy Sky or Charcoal Slate, and combine it with Soft Pink or Antique White for a cohesive warm palette.
