Benjamin Moore

Picnic Basket

CSP-730

Picnic Basket is a light, cool-leaning neutral with a mild green undertone that can become more noticeable in daylight. Its LRV of 53.1 keeps it mid-light and generally stable across different room sizes. It’s suitable for bedrooms, living rooms, and kitchens where a cooler neutral is preferred over beige.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore Gray Owl or Stonington Gray to reinforce the cool family. For contrast, Kendall Charcoal or Hale Navy adds a darker anchor, while Beach Glass can keep the green influence subtle and connected.

Picnic Basket in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
