Benjamin Moore

Smoke Bush

1519

Smoke & Mirrors is a mid-range neutral gray with warm undertones that read slightly beige in certain lighting conditions. At an LRV of 41.98, it reflects a moderate amount of light, keeping rooms from feeling too dark while maintaining visual weight on walls. The warmth in this gray separates it from cooler alternatives and allows it to pair well with Benjamin Moore Balboa Mist as a lighter companion, Kendall Charcoal for deeper contrast, Simply White on trim, and Edgecomb Gray in adjacent spaces.

It holds its tone under both natural and artificial light without shifting noticeably cool.
