Benjamin Moore

Whispering Wind

1416

Whispering Wind (1416) is a light lavender-blue from Benjamin Moore with cool blue undertones layered beneath the primary violet cast, as shown in its hex value #D5DAE6 where the blue channel is highest. Its LRV of 69.43 makes it a high-light color that still delivers discernible hue on the wall, distinguishing it from plain light grays. The blue undertone becomes more pronounced under fluorescent or north-facing light.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore's White Dove, Chantilly Lace, Hale Navy, Palladian Blue, and Woodlawn Blue for coordinated palettes.
