Benjamin Moore

Monet

1243 / CC-8

Monet (1243) is a muted, mid-range neutral that blends pink and violet undertones into a powdery, dusty mauve. With an LRV of 39.98, it absorbs a moderate amount of light, reading as a soft, grayed rose in most conditions. The violet lean keeps it from tipping too warm, while the pink base prevents it from feeling cool.

It pairs well within the Benjamin Moore catalog alongside Alabaster (876) for a lighter tonal contrast, Silver Lake (1598) to echo its gray qualities, Simply White (OC-117) for crisp trim, and Windham Cream (HC-6) to introduce a warm counterpoint.
