Benjamin Moore

Misty Blush

2097-60

Misty Blush (2097-60) is a muted pink with clear gray undertones that pull it away from pure warmth and into neutral territory. With an LRV of 60.81, it sits at a mid-light level, bright enough to open up smaller rooms but with enough pigment to read distinctly on walls. The gray influence prevents it from appearing overtly rosy, while a faint beige quality adds warmth at the base.

It coordinates with White Dove (OC-17) for trim, and pairs with Dove Wing (OC-18), Balboa Mist (OC-27), Wish (AF-680), and Hale Navy (HC-154) for fuller palettes.
