What Color is Thistle
Thistle is a member of the daisy family with pale purple flowers; its color is charming, and its spiky stem adds excitement and texture to this flowering plant. Thistles thrive in spring and summer, so using their colors in your home or office will create a happy ambiance regardless of the season or weather.

Thistle tones can vary from gray-toned lavenders to pinky purples. If you’re interesting in this range of colors, find options for your perfect Benjamin Moore thistle paint at 21st Century Paints.
Welcome Guests with a Violet Thistle Color
Your home’s entryway should be pleasant and welcoming. Benjamin Moore Lavender Mist 2070-60 is a light blue-violet with almost robin’s egg blue undertones. This paint tone would look outstanding in foyers of all sizes.
- You can maintain the airy vibe with a cool white, like Benjamin Moore Distant Gray OC-68, a classic white with a hint of blue.
- If you prefer contrast to create a defined appearance, Benjamin Moore Day’s End 2133-30 is a hazy black that’s ideally suited for the job.
Use A Pastel Color of Thistle for Relaxing Spaces
Bedrooms should be the most relaxing areas in your home. Benjamin Moore French Lilac 1403, a gentle pastel purple with a touch of blue, is an excellent color to fall asleep and wake up to. This is a slightly deeper thistle tone than Benjamin Moore Lavender Mist 2070-60.
- Create a soothing tri-color palette by pairing French Lilac with a crisp, classic white, like Benjamin Moore White Dove OC-17 and Benjamin Moore Balboa Mist OC-27, a versatile pale gray with a warm cast.
Brighten Shared Living Areas with Thistle Color
You may think light purple isn’t a great choice for living rooms, but a refreshing shade, like Benjamin Moore Beach Plum 2072-60, on an accent wall or trim will give the space an uplifting vibe. Less blue than Lavender Mist 2070-60 and French Lilac 1403, this is a true soft purple-lilac.
Add a refined element with Benjamin Moore Amazon Soil 2115-30, a brown, smoky plum with sumptuous flair on the remaining walls. We recommend using a mid-tone neutral, like Benjamin Moore Benjamin Moore Balboa Mist OC-27, on the ceiling to make the room feel more spacious.

For a more vibrant and playful take on thistle, try Raspberry Mousse 2076-40, a fanciful violet with a hot pink undertone that really pops as an accent or drenches the room in a lively jewel shade.
- Benjamin Moore Mountain Peak White OC-121, a classic white with soft yellow tones, is ideal for trim in the room.
- You can add unexpected color to the room with a dramatic hue on the ceiling. We recommend Benjamin Moore Dark Olive 2140-30, an elegant, earthy shade of muted green.
