What color is Benjamin Moore Lavender Mist?

Benjamin Moore Lavender Mist 2070-60 is a pale, muted lavender with a noticeable cool blue cast. Its light value keeps it airy on broad walls, while the soft violet tint prevents it from reading like a standard gray or icy blue. In north-facing daylight, Lavender Mist can appear a little bluer and more silvery; warmer evening lighting tends to bring out its gentle purple side. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, nurseries, or a quiet home office, especially alongside crisp white trim, dove gray textiles, pale oak, and brushed nickel. For more contrast, pair this shade with deep charcoal, inky navy, or a dark plum accent.
