Benjamin Moore

Vapor Trails

1556

Vapor Trails is a light silver-gray from Benjamin Moore with a cool undertone that leans slightly toward green-gray. Its LRV of 61.41 places it in the mid-light range, reflecting enough light to keep rooms bright while still registering as a definite color on walls. The muted quality keeps it from appearing overtly blue or green.

It pairs with Kendall Charcoal for a high-contrast gray scheme and with White Dove as a lighter trim companion. Woodlawn Blue and Palladian Blue sit in the same cool-toned family and create a cohesive analogous grouping.
