Strand of Pearls

CSP-395

Strand of Pearls is a soft off-white with blended gray and beige undertones that keep it neutral. Its LRV of 72.19 allows it to reflect light while avoiding a stark appearance. The color reads slightly warm and stable across lighting conditions.

It works well as a main wall color or in layered neutral schemes. Strand of Pearls pairs naturally with Benjamin Moore Pale Oak and Classic Gray. Kendall Charcoal and Gloucester Sage add depth, while warm taupes maintain cohesion.
