Benjamin Moore

Smoky Green

CC-700 / 1563

Smoky Green reads as a muted, cool-leaning neutral with balanced gray and green undertones, sitting at an LRV of 60.73. It reflects a moderate amount of light, keeping walls from feeling heavy while maintaining enough depth to register as a definite color rather than a near-white. The green cast is restrained and leans slightly blue in cooler lighting conditions.

It coordinates well with Benjamin Moore Chelsea Gray, Palladian Blue, White Dove, Quiet Moments, and Balboa Mist, which reinforce its gray-green character without introducing competing warmth.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
