What is the Benjamin Moore equivalent of Misty?
The closest Benjamin Moore match for Misty is Whitestone 2134-60 (#C9CECE). No cross-brand match is exact, because each brand mixes its own pigment formulas. Always confirm with a physical sample before specifying a substitute.
Is Misty warm or cool?
Misty is cool, a gray-veiled blue with no warm undertone to speak of. The blue is subtle, surfacing most in bright daylight and receding to soft gray in dim rooms. With an LRV of approximately 64, it is one of the lighter blues in the deck and works well on ceilings as a quiet sky effect. Balance it with warm wood or textiles so the room stays inviting.
Why does Misty look different on screen than on the wall?
Screens emit light while paint reflects it, so a hex code cannot capture how lighting, sheen, and surrounding colors shift paint in a real room. Treat #CDD2D2 as accurate for digital design work, and use physical samples for final approval.
What LRV does Misty have?
Misty has a Light Reflectance Value of approximately 64, meaning it reflects about 64% of visible light. That places it among lighter colors that keep rooms feeling open and bright.
