Read from the numbersCedar Grove is the lighter of the two at LRV 46.34, 1 point above Sea Haze at LRV 45.36. Both read cool. Sea Haze is a gray, Cedar Grove a green. For a whole room, Cedar Grove is the safer, more forgiving choice thanks to its higher LRV, while Sea Haze is the bolder pick.
How they read
In their own wordsSea 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.
Cedar Grove is a mid-light sage — green enough to be clearly a color from across the room, grey enough never to look minty. At LRV 46 it sits in the sweet spot for a full-room green: it holds its tone in daylight and softens rather than muddies as the light fades.
