Benjamin Moore

Mountain Mist

868

Mountain Mist (868) is a pale blue-gray with cool undertones that lean slightly toward green in its cyan base. With an LRV of 70.55, it reflects a significant amount of light and reads as an airy near-neutral in well-lit spaces. The gray undertone keeps the blue from becoming dominant, resulting in a color that functions close to a tinted white in open rooms.

It pairs well with White Heron (OC-57) for trim, Vanderberg Blue (721) for a deeper tonal step, Steam (AF-15) for a warmer off-white ceiling, and Bricktone Red (2005-30) as a high-contrast accent.

Mountain Mist 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.
