Benjamin Moore

Cosmopolitan

CSP-100

Cosmopolitan is a warm-leaning neutral with a quiet gray undertone that keeps it from shifting too far toward beige. With an LRV of 46.47, it sits in the middle of the reflectance range, providing moderate brightness without excessive contrast against darker furnishings. It reads as a muted, balanced tone that stays consistent across different lighting conditions.

This makes it a practical option for living rooms, hallways, and bedrooms. Benjamin Moore White Dove and Classic Gray complement it in a restrained, tonal palette. Chelsea Gray or Kendall Charcoal offer sharper contrast, and Pale Oak works as a lighter adjacent wall color.
