Benjamin Moore

Mediterranean Sky

1662

Mediterranean Sky is a mid-tone blue with gray and green undertones that give it a muted, weathered quality. With an LRV of 50.81, it sits near the center of the light-reflectance scale, making it versatile as either a wall color or an accent depending on context. The green undertone keeps it from reading as a pure cerulean, while the gray component reduces its chroma.

It pairs with Benjamin Moore Cloud White (967) and Steam (AF-15) for bright, clean contrast, North Creek Brown (1001) for an earthy complement, and Flint (AF-560) for a tonal anchor.

Mediterranean Sky in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
