How it reads

Sea Haze 2137-50 is a mid-tone gray from Benjamin Moore's Color Preview collection. Benjamin Moore calls it "a soothing gray with soft green undertones" that is "as beautifully complex as polished sea glass", with an LRV of 45.36.

In the JHL Design dining room on this page, photographed by The Morrisons Photo, it covers panelled walls around a white marble fireplace, with a dark oval table and grey upholstered chairs.

What Sea Haze is

Sea Haze 2137-50 is part of Benjamin Moore's Color Preview collection. Benjamin Moore describes it as "a soothing gray with soft green undertones" that is "as beautifully complex as polished sea glass".

How it behaves in light

As a mid-tone it holds its colour in most rooms. Composite Paint notes it shifts with light and with the colours around it, reading greener near plants and wood and greyer beside white.

In the light-filled dining room on this page it reads as a soft, calm gray against white trim and marble.

Where to use it

In the JHL Design dining room on this page, photographed by The Morrisons Photo, Sea Haze covers panelled walls around a white marble fireplace, with a dark oval table, grey upholstered chairs and sculptural glass pendants.

Designer Garrison Hullinger has also used it on wood panelling in a Seaview, Washington beach house featured on One Kindesign.

Benjamin Moore's coordinating colours are Abyss 2128-20, Downpour Blue 2063-20, Copley Gray HC-104 and Million Dollar Red 2003-10. It lists Fieldstone 1558, Gray Horse 2140-50, Gray Huskie 1473 and Coventry Gray HC-169 as similar.
