Benjamin Moore

Plaster of Paris®

CSP-185

Plaster of Paris by Benjamin Moore is a powdery white with a neutral-to-slightly-warm undertone that avoids reading stark or cold on walls. With an LRV of 72.52, it reflects a high amount of light and can make smaller rooms feel more open. Its restrained tone suits living rooms, kitchens, and bedrooms across minimalist, contemporary, and traditional interiors.

Pairing it with White Dove or Gray Owl maintains a quiet, layered neutral palette, while Kendall Charcoal and Hale Navy offer strong tonal contrast. Palladian Blue or Guilford Green can introduce subtle color without competing with its clean character.
