Whispering Spring

2136-70

Whispering Spring (CSP-665) is a light blue-green from Benjamin Moore with balanced cool undertones that register evenly between blue and green, as reflected in its hex value #DCE7E6. An LRV of 77.79 positions it as a high-reflectance color that functions nearly as an off-white with a detectable teal lean. It shifts subtly between blue and green depending on the light source and surrounding palette.

Coordinate it with Benjamin Moore's White Dove, Chantilly Lace, Hale Navy, Palladian Blue, and Healing Aloe for trim, contrast, and tonal layering.
