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.
