Benjamin Moore

Balboa Mist

1549 / OC-27

Balboa Mist is a pale gray with warm beige undertones that keep it from reading cool. Its LRV of 65.53 reflects a moderate amount of light, so it stays light without appearing stark. In north-facing rooms it can read slightly cooler.

It is suitable for open living areas, hallways, or whole-house neutrals. Pair it with White Dove and Chantilly Lace for trim, and add Classic Gray or Kendall Charcoal for contrast.
