Benjamin Moore

Nosegay

1401

Nosegay by Benjamin Moore is a pale pastel purple positioned close to white on the tonal spectrum, carrying faint violet undertones that distinguish it from a pure neutral. Its LRV of 75.05 makes it highly reflective, contributing to an open, airy quality in any room. It functions well in bedrooms, nurseries, and lighter living spaces where a near-white with subtle color is preferred over stark white.

Nosegay coordinates with Benjamin Moore White Dove, Coastal Fog, Hale Navy, Palladian Blue, and Coventry Gray, offering layered options from soft tonal pairings to deeper accent contrasts.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
