What color is Benjamin Moore October Mist?

Benjamin Moore October Mist 1495 is a muted gray-green with a soft olive cast and a lightly weathered look. Its low saturation keeps it gentle on large wall areas, while the yellowed undertone prevents it from reading icy or overly cool. In daylight, October Mist can appear like a pale greened gray; under warmer bulbs, its earthy olive notes become more noticeable. It suits bedrooms, living rooms, and kitchens where a quiet natural color is wanted without using a stronger botanical green. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, linen upholstery, brushed brass, or charcoal accents for contrast. On cabinetry, this shade creates a subdued alternative to white while still keeping the room light.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).

Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 46.54%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
