About Mauve Blush
Mauve Blush (2115-40) is a deep warm gray (greige) from Benjamin Moore with a soft pink undertone. With an LRV of 30, Mauve Blush absorbs more light than it reflects, so it works best in rooms with good natural light or where you want a cozier feel.
In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Mauve Blush's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for bedrooms, offices, accent walls and kitchen cabinets. It's very close to Amethyst Sky (1447); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.
