What color is Benjamin Moore Vale Mist?
Benjamin Moore Vale Mist 1494 is a light, muted gray-green with a noticeable soft olive cast. Its low saturation keeps it quiet on the wall, while the yellow-green undertone prevents it from reading as a plain cool gray. In daylight, Vale Mist can appear like a pale weathered sage; under warmer evening lighting, it shifts toward a gentle khaki-gray. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and living areas where a subtle natural color is wanted without the depth of a stronger green. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, aged brass, linen upholstery, or charcoal accents for contrast.

LRV of Vale Mist
Vale Mist has an LRV of 55.94% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident light. Why LRV is important?
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 55.94%, 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.
