Benjamin Moore

Spring Lilac

1388

Spring Lilac is a pale, cool purple with pink and gray undertones that produce a dusty, subdued lavender effect. Its LRV of 62.89 gives it moderate-to-high reflectance, keeping it airy on walls without washing out entirely. The gray component mutes the purple enough that it reads as a tinted neutral in some lighting.

It pairs well with Benjamin Moore Silver Satin and Classic Gray for a restrained cool palette, while Hale Navy and Chelsea Gray add depth as darker accents. Gentle Gray bridges it toward blue-toned companions.
