Benjamin Moore

Pale Smoke

1584

Pale Smoke by Benjamin Moore is a cool neutral that blends blue and gray undertones into a smoky, restrained tone. It carries an LRV of 63.6, placing it in the moderate-to-high reflectance range while delivering visible color on the wall. This shade suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and transitional spaces where a cool, quiet atmosphere is the goal.

Pale Smoke pairs naturally with Benjamin Moore Gray Owl and Silver Fox to build a cohesive cool-neutral palette, and analogous hues like Quiet Moments and Sea Haze extend its range. Hale Navy or Chelsea Gray add contrast and definition.
