Benjamin Moore

Sylvan Mist

CSP-740

Sylvan Mist (Benjamin Moore) is a cool-toned blue with subtle green undertones and an LRV of 53.89, placing it at a mid-range reflectance. The green shift softens the blue, producing a muted, sage-influenced tone rather than a straightforward blue. It maintains a light-to-medium depth that allows it to function as either a soft wall color or a transitional neutral in cooler palettes.

It coordinates with Silver Half Dollar, Iceberg, Night Train, White Dove, and Gray Owl from Benjamin Moore.
