Benjamin Moore

Scenic Drive

697 / CC-758

Scenic Drive is a gray-green that leans toward sage, with the gray undertone keeping it restrained and preventing it from reading overtly green. Its LRV of 39.61 puts it in a moderate range, reflecting enough light to maintain clarity without appearing pale. The green component becomes more evident in natural daylight, while artificial light emphasizes the gray.

Saybrook Sage and Gray Mirage provide tonal neighbors for a layered green scheme, while Hale Navy and Kendall Charcoal supply deeper contrast. Chantilly Lace or Simply White work at the trim level to maintain brightness.
