Benjamin Moore

Vale Mist

1494

Vale Mist from Benjamin Moore is a soft sage green with a noticeable silver-gray cast that keeps it from reading as overtly green. Its LRV of 55.94 puts it in the upper-mid range, meaning it reflects a moderate-to-good amount of light and works in rooms with varied natural light exposure. The gray undertone tempers the green, producing a muted, quiet tone rather than a saturated one.

It pairs cleanly with Benjamin Moore's Sea Haze, October Mist, Wrought Iron, White Dove, and Classic Gray.
