Perspective® CSP-5
On-screen approximation from the published RGB value. Order a physical sample before you decide.
Undertone: No measurable undertone (true neutral)
In CIELAB, Perspective® sits at L* 82.2, a* -1.2, b* 1.2. Its hue angle is 135° and its chroma is 1.8, so it has essentially no color cast — a true neutral that will pick up the color of the light and surroundings. It classifies as neutral. Among Benjamin Moore colors with a similar LRV (±5), it is warmer (more yellow) than 24%.
LRV 60.2: light
Light Reflectance Value runs from 0 (absolute black) to 100 (perfect white). At 60.2, Perspective® is lighter than 65% of Benjamin Moore colors. The most forgiving range for whole-house walls. Keeps rooms bright without glare.
