Benjamin Moore

Pale Sea Mist

2147-50

Pale Sea Mist by Benjamin Moore is a soft yellow-green with warm undertones that lean toward a muted, natural tone rather than a bright chartreuse. Its LRV of 67.42 provides moderate-to-high light reflectance, making it effective in living rooms, kitchens, and sunrooms where it can amplify daylight. The yellow-green balance keeps it from reading too cool or too warm, giving it broad compatibility with surrounding finishes.

It coordinates well with Benjamin Moore Saybrook Sage and Hawthorne Yellow for an analogous palette, while Simply White and Classic Gray serve as clean neutral companions. Hale Navy offers a strong complementary contrast.

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.
