Mirage White

Benjamin Moore · 2116-70

The Analysis

Mirage White is a high-LRV (81.88) shade, meaning it reflects a significant amount of light back into your space. Because it is so reflective, it effectively maximizes the perceived square footage of smaller or darker rooms.

This is a utility-first white designed to act as a seamless backdrop for furniture and art. It works perfectly as a primary wall colour throughout an entire floor plan to create a sense of cohesion.

History & Origin

This is a firmly modern, contemporary shade. It lacks the yellow or heavy cream undertones found in older, traditional white paints, giving it a fresh and updated feel.

How to Use It

This shade excels in spaces with limited natural light, as it prevents the room from feeling dingy. It pairs best with matte black hardware for contrast or light oak wood tones for a balanced, neutral palette.

The Mood

Living with this colour feels crisp and orderly. It provides a clean, neutral background that reduces visual clutter, making it an excellent choice for a restful, low-stress environment.

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.
