Half Sea Fog

N470-3

Half Sea Fog is a muted gray with noticeable blue-green undertones, sitting at around 180 degrees on the color wheel. Its LRV of 71 places it in the upper-mid range, reflecting enough light for use in moderately sized rooms while still conveying depth. The cool aqua-gray character makes it applicable in coastal-themed or contemporary spaces as a wall color or cabinetry finish.

It pairs with Behr Ultra Pure White or Silky White for clean contrast, Behr Sterling for a similar cool tone, Behr Cracked Pepper for dark accents, and Behr Laurel Tree for an analogous green combination.
