Paint colour: similar to Benjamin Moore Florentine Plaster but lighter

6 months ago

last modified: 6 months ago

Looking to change our wall colour from Benjamin Moore Florentine Plaster (which i still like) to something similar but lighter, brighter. I would describe our open space condo as contemporary, uncluttered with a japanese feel to it. Kitchen cabinets are walnut, counters are medium to dark grey caesar stone, a few red accents, and floor is light maple. Any ideas?

Head to BM and they will help find the color sample (containing other shades with the same undertones from light/dark). If none are light enough, they’ll make other recommendations. It’s important to get test pots of your 2-3 favorites (or large paint sheets if available) and compare during different times of the day.
