Benj Moore 868 Mountain Mist

Really? In the BM fan deck and online, Mountain Mist looks like a green-grey color. Wow, what a difference to see it in an actual room!

When picking pale colors, it's good that the color has a drop of grey or beige in the tone, as it prevents the color from becoming sherbert-y or baby-ish. Another tip is to look one tone darker on the color wheel to have a truer sense of what a color will feel like once painted on an entire wall. In this room, we wanted a warmer blue, so we looked to colors with a drop of yellow (thus the green you mentioned). In other areas of the house where we wanted cooler blues, we looked to those that err-ed toward silver or lilac to achieve the actual blue tone we wanted. Good luck! And if you ever get stuck, feel free to contact us.

Great tip! Thanks for the mini lesson!

Yes, many thanks for the information!
