On this page

Wish is Benjamin Moore AF-680, a soft greige with hex #CFCAC2 and RGB 207, 202, 194. The red channel leads blue by 13 steps, and that gap is what tips it warm.

The color in numbers

In HSL it is hsl(37, 12%, 79%), and in OKLCH it is oklch(84.1% 0.012 79.8). The chroma of 0.012 is very low, but the hue near 80 degrees reads as a yellow undertone, so the file calls it a warm neutral. LRV is 58.58, in the mid-light range. Cool white trim will make that yellow easier to spot, and lamplight will deepen it, so judge the sample at night as well as at noon.

In practice that makes it a flexible greige. It is light enough for a bedroom, and still gray enough that it will not read as cream beside a white sink or a stone countertop.

Four colors Benjamin Moore lists with it

The brand pairs Wish with Steam (AF-15), Chambourd (AF-645), Super White (OC-152) and Iron Mountain (2134-30). This site has no pages for these four. Collect all four chips and see which suits your trim and furniture.

Worked example

Consider a living room facing east, with a gray-blue sofa and white baseboards. Wish on the walls would warm the sofa slightly and keep the room from feeling cold at breakfast. In the evening, the warm bulbs will push it toward beige. Meanwhile, a product page in this color needs dark text: black reaches 12.88:1, white only 1.63:1.

Wish does well wherever you need a neutral that is a little darker than a standard off-white yet still light enough to feel open. Hallways, bedrooms and open-plan living spaces are all natural fits.

In a bright room, the LRV of 58.58 leaves room for the paint to look pale, whereas in a dim one it will shift toward a deeper taupe. Test both situations if your house has mixed exposures.

Wish has several very near relatives from other makers. Sherwin-Williams Agreeable Gray (SW 7029) is ΔE 1, and Repose Gray (SW 7015) is 1.3. Both are under 2, hard to tell apart on a wall. Behr Ashen Tan (N220-2) is 2.1 and Wheat Bread (720C-3) is 2.9, related but visible.

Inside Benjamin Moore, Revere Pewter (HC-172) is 2.9, Balboa Mist (1549) is 3 and Smoke Embers (1466) is 3.4. All three are in the same related range.

If you are matching an existing wall, a number under 2 is a promising start, not a guarantee. Take a real sample of Wish and the candidate and hold both against the wall in the room's own light.
