More about Comfort Gray
Comfort Gray (since renamed Quietude) is a soft, spa-like green-gray at LRV 54 — a gentle, grayed sage-blue that reads more green or more gray depending on the light. It's a close relative of Sea Salt, a touch grayer and more muted, beloved for calm bedrooms and bathrooms.
Like all of this family it shifts with the light, so a sample is essential. It pairs with crisp whites and natural wood and fights cool grays. Behr Rhino is its near-identical cross-brand match, with Benjamin Moore Picnic Basket close behind.
