Pashmina
Benjamin Moore
AF-100
Pashmina is a mid-tone mushroom greige that blends gray, taupe, and a soft brown warmth into one velvety neutral. It gives walls genuine depth in dining rooms, bedrooms, and studies without committing to a color. It pairs well with cream trim, linen, walnut, and aged brass, and it reads richer at night than its chip suggests.

What is the Sherwin-Williams equivalent of Pashmina?
The closest Sherwin-Williams match for Pashmina is Silver Gray SW 0049 (#B8B2A2). No cross-brand match is exact, because each brand mixes its own pigment formulas. Always confirm with a physical sample before specifying a substitute.
Is Pashmina warm or cool?
Pashmina is warm, a taupe-forward greige with a mushroom undertone. At an LRV of approximately 45, it is a true mid-tone, darker than the popular light greiges and noticeably moodier after sunset. Daylight keeps it soft and stony; lamplight deepens it toward brown. It needs decent natural light to stay relaxed, and it rewards rooms where evening atmosphere matters, like dining rooms.
Why does Pashmina look different on screen than on the wall?
Screens emit light while paint reflects it, so a hex code cannot capture how lighting, sheen, and surrounding colors shift paint in a real room. Treat #BBB2A1 as accurate for digital design work, and use physical samples for final approval.
What LRV does Pashmina have?
Pashmina has a Light Reflectance Value of approximately 45, meaning it reflects about 45% of visible light. That mid-range depth reads as a true color on the wall without going dark.
