Benjamin Moore

Whisper

CSP-500

Whisper (CSP-10) is a high-light gray from Benjamin Moore with a warm, slightly green-tinged neutral undertone visible in the hex value #D5D5D0, where the green and blue channels sit close together. Its LRV of 65.65 makes it a light neutral that reads airy on walls while retaining enough pigment to avoid appearing stark white. The warm gray base keeps it from trending blue or purple under artificial light.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore's Simply White, Horizon, Kendall Charcoal, Silver Gray, or Hale Navy for trim, accent, and coordinating wall applications.
