Benjamin Moore

October Mist

1495 / CC-550

October Mist by Benjamin Moore is a muted sage green with soft gray undertones and a slightly silvery cast, registering an LRV of 46.54 for moderate light reflectance. It sits between warm and cool on the spectrum, with its subtle green reading as organic and grounded rather than vivid. This positions it well for living rooms, bedrooms, and kitchens where a quiet, nature-derived wall color is appropriate.

It pairs with Benjamin Moore Revere Pewter and Classic Gray for warm neutral trim, Saybrook Sage and Cushing Green for analogous green layering, and Pale Oak for a soft, complementary cream contrast.
