Benjamin Moore

Mauve Blush

2115-40

Mauve Blush is a muted purple-gray with an LRV of 30.58, registering as a true mid-tone. Its hex #A19195 shows a restrained mauve base heavily tempered by warm gray undertones, which prevent it from reading overtly purple in most lighting conditions. The warmth in the gray keeps it from going cool or clinical.

It pairs cleanly with White Dove, Chantilly Lace, and Simply White on trim. Silver Fox or Heather Gray extend its neutral gray character, while Hale Navy or Charcoal Slate offer effective deeper contrast.
