Palest Pistachio

2122-60

Palest Pistachio by Benjamin Moore is a cool-toned, very light green with a noticeable blue undertone that reads as crisp and clean on surfaces. Its Light Reflectance Value of 83.84 makes it highly reflective, helping brighten small rooms or spaces with limited natural light. The color functions well in bathrooms, hallways, and minimalist interiors where a subtle wash of color is preferred over stark white.

It coordinates naturally with Benjamin Moore's White Diamond and Paper White for a light palette, while Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal offer stronger contrast. Healing Aloe and Quiet Moments sit in a similar tonal range.
