Pacific Mist

Pacific Mist Technical Profile

What color is Behr Pacific Mist (ECC-34-1)? It's a light cool gray — hex #CDD5D3, LRV 65. The closest cross-brand equivalent to Pacific Mist is Sherwin-Williams Serenely — a near-identical match on the wall, with Valspar Northern Sky and Dunn-Edwards Rainy Season also close. At LRV 65, Pacific Mist sits in the comfortable mid-light range — bright enough for living areas yet soft enough for bedrooms, and adaptable across most lighting conditions. As a cool neutral, Pacific Mist pairs with cool whites for trim, gray-toned or rift-cut oak floors, and brushed nickel or polished chrome hardware. Black accents and natural greenery add contrast. As a lighter neutral, Pacific Mist works as a whole-room or trim color and keeps adjoining colors reading clean — pair it with crisper whites a step brighter than itself so the trim still separates. Cool neutrals hold their crisp quality under 4000K+ daylight bulbs. Under 2700K warm light they soften considerably — particularly true for any blue or green undertone. Lighter neutrals reveal their undertone most, so Pacific Mist can swing warmer under 2700K bulbs and cleaner under 4000K daylight — sample it against your trim before committing.
