Every room, each color

The difference

Read from the numbers

Revere Pewter is the lighter of the two at LRV 55.05, 10.8 points above Pashmina at LRV 44.2. Revere Pewter leans warm where Pashmina reads neutral. Both belong to the beige family. For a whole room, Revere Pewter is the safer, more forgiving choice thanks to its higher LRV, while Pashmina is the bolder pick.

How they read

In their own words

Revere Pewter (HC-172) is Benjamin Moore's iconic greige — a warm gray-beige with a soft olive-green undertone. At LRV 55.5 it's slightly deeper than the popular Sherwin-Williams greiges, giving it more presence on a wall.

Pashmina is Benjamin Moore's most even-handed taupe: the brand describes it as 'perfectly balanced between warm and cool, light and dark'. It belongs to the Affinity collection, designed so that every colour in it harmonises with every other.
