Benjamin Moore

Seattle Mist

1535

Seattle Mist reads as a cool gray with green-beige undertones, registering an LRV of 55.34 that places it squarely in the mid-light range. On walls it appears as a muted, weathered neutral that shifts slightly warmer under incandescent lighting due to its yellow-green base. It functions well alongside other restrained neutrals such as Gray Owl, Stonington Gray, and Pale Oak, while pairing with Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal introduces controlled contrast without disrupting its subdued character.
