Benjamin Moore

Old Prairie

2143-50 / OC-42

Old Prairie is a Benjamin Moore off-white carrying subtle green and gray undertones that keep it from reading as purely warm or cool. With a Light Reflectance Value of 72.22, it reflects a significant amount of light and functions well as a wall color in living rooms, kitchens, and bedrooms. It serves effectively as a neutral backdrop in both contemporary and rustic interiors.

Pairing with Classic Gray maintains a quiet palette, while Secret Garden or Debonair introduces contrast. Soft beige tones like Edgecomb Gray complement its muted character.
