Benjamin Moore

Muskoka Dusk

CC-6 / 1251

Muskoka Dusk is a muted purple-mauve with pronounced gray undertones that temper its pigment and pull it toward a dusty, restrained register. With an LRV of 27.95, it absorbs a substantial portion of light, functioning best in well-lit spaces where its complexity can be read accurately. The gray base prevents it from skewing pink or violet under most lighting conditions.

It works alongside Benjamin Moore's Classic Gray OC-23, Athabasca CC-816, Cotton Balls OC-122, and Pale Avocado 2146-40, a mix that spans neutral whites to muted green.
