Lost Locket

Benjamin Moore · CSP-410

The Analysis

Lost Locket is a mid-toned, earthy taupe that absorbs some light rather than reflecting it. Because of its LRV of 41.22, it will make a room feel cozy and grounded rather than spacious or bright.

This color functions best as a sophisticated main wall color or a cohesive backdrop for living areas. It acts as a neutral bridge that keeps a room from looking too sterile or clinical.

LRV 41

History & Origin

While it draws from traditional earth-tone palettes, it feels modern and fresh in contemporary homes. It fits well in homes leaning toward a refined, updated take on classic design rather than strict period styles.

How to Use It

It excels in bedrooms and dens where you want a muted atmosphere. Pair it with warm walnut wood tones and matte black hardware to highlight its subtle pink-grey undertones.

The Mood

This shade provides a restful, stable environment that feels calm without being overly cold. It is an excellent choice for a space where you want to unwind, as it lacks the high-contrast intensity of brighter, more energizing colors.

Colour harmonies

Complementary

Opposite on the colour wheel — bold, high-contrast pairings. Use for a feature wall or furniture you want to command attention.

Analogous

Neighbouring hues — cohesive and calm, great for layered schemes that feel collected rather than matched.

Split complementary

Near-opposites for strong contrast with a little less tension than a pure complement. A favourite of interior designers.

Triadic

Three evenly spaced hues — balanced, vibrant, and versatile. Keep one dominant and use the others sparingly.

Tetradic (square)

Four hues in a square on the wheel — rich, dynamic palettes. Best when one colour leads and the others accent.

Monochromatic

Dark, mid, and light steps on the same hue — a failsafe gradient for trim, walls, and accents without shifting colour family.
