Benjamin Moore

Mosaic Glass

485 / HC-117

Mosaic Glass (485) is a light, minty green from Benjamin Moore's Classic Color Collection, with an LRV of 66.06 that keeps it bright and airy. Yellow undertones warm its green base, preventing it from reading as icy or clinical -- the result is closer to a pale sage than a true mint. It reflects a considerable amount of light, making it well suited for smaller or north-facing rooms.

Coordinate it with Baby's Breath (873) and Gray Mist (CC-80) for a tonal green-to-neutral transition, Paradiso (717) for added depth, or Buckhorn (CC-510) as a grounding darker accent.

Mosaic Glass 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.
