Pashmina

AF-100

Pashmina is a mid-tone greige with a balanced mix of taupe warmth and gray coolness. Its LRV of 44.2 allows it to add depth without significantly darkening a space. The undertone shifts subtly depending on lighting, appearing warmer in daylight and cooler under artificial light.

This makes it suitable for open layouts and transitional interiors. It pairs well with Benjamin Moore White Dove and Cloud Cover for lighter contrast, while Iron Mountain or Stone Hearth reinforce its neutral depth.
