Benjamin Moore

Pistachio Ice Cream

CSP-815

Pistachio is a soft green with a cool cast that reads clean and fresh. With an LRV of 68.65, it reflects light well and maintains an airy appearance. It is suitable for kitchens, bathrooms, and light-filled living spaces.

The undertone keeps it from turning yellow. Pistachio pairs cleanly with Chantilly Lace and Simply White, and it gains contrast from Hale Navy or Newburg Green, while Pale Sea Mist and Woodlawn Blue support a related palette.

Pistachio Ice Cream 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.
