Benjamin Moore

Pleasant Valley

696

Pleasant Valley by Benjamin Moore is a medium-light tone that blends green and blue in roughly equal measure, producing a hue that reads as a muted teal-sage on walls. Its LRV of 50.46 places it near the middle of the reflectance scale, balancing light return with enough saturation to register as a definite color. It functions well in bedrooms, bathrooms, and living rooms where a calm, nature-referenced atmosphere is appropriate.

Soft Fern and Wythe Blue create a cohesive analogous grouping, while Hale Navy or Charcoal Slate add darker contrast. Chantilly Lace sharpens the overall palette as a crisp white accent.
