On this page

Healing Aloe is Benjamin Moore 1562, a pale gray with a faint plant-green tint. Its hex is #D5DBD2 and its RGB is 213, 219, 210, so green is the highest channel by a small margin.

Where it lands

The LRV is 68.25, which sits in the light band and returns plenty of light while keeping some visible color. HSL is hsl(100, 11%, 84%) and OKLCH is oklch(88.4% 0.014 134.9). Its undertone computes as a neutral that leans cool, with green showing, from a hue of 135 degrees and a chroma of 0.014. With chroma that low, the green is a suggestion more than a statement.

The light value helps too: at 68.25, the paint reflects enough that the tint stays airy rather than turning murky, which is a risk with greener grays at lower lightness.

Worked example

Consider a bathroom with a small east window and white tile, plus a vanity you plan to leave wood. Healing Aloe on the walls adds a restful tint against the tile. Warm bulbs push the green toward gray-beige at night, while morning light brings it forward. For the ceiling, pick a white from the brand's list such as Steam (AF-15), and check it against the walls in the actual room, since a white with a yellow lean will make the green look cooler by comparison.

Benjamin Moore's coordinating list

The brand pairs 1562 with Distant Gray (OC-68), Mocha Cream (995), Steam (AF-15) and Dolphin (AF-715). These four have no pages on this site, so they appear by name and code only. Going by the names, that spans grays, a cream and a white, though only a sample card will show whether they suit your room.

Other paints that come near

The closest relative is Gray Cashmere (2138-60) at ΔE 1.4, a gap most people would not see once both are rolled out. Classic Gray (OC-23) at 4.8 and Bunny Gray (2124-50) at 4.9 are related but visible.

From Sherwin-Williams, Sea Salt (SW 6204) is 2.1, a step you can see if the two sit side by side. Pearl Gray (SW 0052) is 3.2, Silver Strand (SW 7057) is 4.0 and Copen Blue (SW 0068) is 4.2. Those are cousins, not twins. Whenever you are switching brands to save time, buy a sample of each and judge them on the wall.
