Benjamin Moore

Wildwood Crest

1538 / HC-104

Wildwood Crest (Benjamin Moore) is a grayish neutral with a discernible green cast, hex #918A78. The LRV of 25.65 places it on the lower side of mid-range reflectance, making it a darker neutral that performs well in well-lit rooms. Green undertones separate it from standard warm grays and taupe neutrals.

Recommended same-brand pairings include Revere Pewter and Edgecomb Gray for tonal cohesion, Kendall Charcoal and Hale Navy for deeper contrast, and Soft Fern to draw out and complement the green undertone.
