Benjamin Moore

Mosaic Tile

1517

Mosaic Tile (1517) is a quiet, green-leaning neutral from Benjamin Moore's Classic Color Collection, with an LRV of 43.83 that situates it in the true mid-tone range. Gray undertones modulate its green base, yielding a color that reads as a muted sage or lichen depending on surrounding light. It avoids the heaviness of darker greens while maintaining enough depth to serve as more than a background tone.

Pair it with Halo (OC-46) or Swiss Coffee (OC-45) for lighter contrast, Misty Air (OC-44) for a near-tonal companion, and Dark Walnut (1358) for a grounding accent.
