Cedar Mountains

706

Cedar Mountains is a blue-green with gray undertones and a subdued, cool cast. Its LRV of 23.68 places it in the mid-dark range, so it reads deeper on large surfaces. It works in bedrooms, offices, or dining rooms where a muted blue-green is needed.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore Wythe Blue or Gray Cashmere for related tones. Revere Pewter or White Dove lighten the palette, while Kendall Charcoal or Hale Navy add depth.
