Dusty Miller

CSP-755

Dusty Miller is a muted green with gray undertones that reads as a warm neutral on most surfaces. It has an LRV of 59.44, placing it in the medium-light range with adequate light reflectance for main wall applications. The gray undertone tempers the green, preventing it from appearing overtly chromatic in standard lighting conditions.

This color works well alongside Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace, White Dove, Kendall Charcoal, Wickham Gray, and Gray Owl. It is appropriate for living rooms, bedrooms, and kitchens where a subdued, grounded wall color is needed.
