Benjamin Moore

Soft Chinchilla

2135-50

Soft Chinchilla is a muted light blue carrying distinct green undertones that pull it toward a cool, slightly aquatic mid-tone. Its LRV of 52.73 places it in the medium-light range, reflecting enough light to keep walls from feeling heavy while retaining noticeable color saturation. The green influence separates it from cleaner blues, giving it a grayed, dusty quality.

It coordinates well with Benjamin Moore Classic Gray and White Dove for lighter contrast, and pairs with Hale Navy or Knoxville Gray for darker anchoring. Palladian Blue maintains a similar cool family for adjacent surfaces.
