Benjamin Moore

Plymouth Rock

1543 / AC-35

Plymouth Rock by Benjamin Moore is a mid-range taupe with gray and beige undertones, registering an LRV of 42.66. This moderate reflectance allows it to work in both well-lit and lower-light rooms without appearing too dark or washed out. The gray component keeps it from reading overly warm, while the beige base provides softness suited to living rooms, bedrooms, and kitchens.

It blends well with White Dove and Cloud White for a low-contrast arrangement. Kendall Charcoal or Hale Navy can serve as accent tones, and Palladian Blue emphasizes the cooler side of its undertone range.
