Benjamin Moore

Mystic Beige

2162-60

Mystic Beige is a warm neutral with subtle peach and orange undertones that prevent it from reading as flat or chalky. At an LRV of 72.89, it reflects a generous amount of light while maintaining enough pigment to register as a color rather than an off-white. The peach cast warms skin tones in a room and becomes more pronounced under incandescent lighting.

It pairs with Blue Danube or Boreal Forest for cooler contrast, and sits comfortably alongside Golden Straw or Cream Fleece in analogous warm schemes. Deeper accent tones anchor it without clashing.
