About Mauve Mist
Mauve Mist (1264) is a deep, muted pink from Benjamin Moore. With an LRV of 36, Mauve Mist 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 Mist'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, nurseries, powder rooms and accent walls. Next to Cherry Malt (2104-50), it's darker.
