Give this sample a clear job
Sample Benjamin Moore Mount Saint Anne 1565 beside the fixed finishes, in the intended orientation and under normal room lighting. The trial should settle a stronger blue-gray beside white millwork . Mount Saint Anne provides more blue-gray depth than Beach Glass, useful when pale cabinetry needs a stronger background.
Why the white cabinet doors and warm wood floors relationship matters
White cabinet faces are a clear reference, but the warm floor determines whether the stronger blue-gray belongs in the whole room.
Mount Saint Anne has an LRV of 41.9; Benjamin Moore Boothbay Gray HC-165 is 43.26. The difference is 1.36 points, with Boothbay Gray returning more light under the reference measurement.
Keep the comparison fair
Keep the Mount Saint Anne sample broad enough to show its hue, with white cabinet doors and warm wood floors beside it. Remove extra paint chips during the final review and restore the belongings that will remain. Approve the color on its own, rather than a preference that depends on an unchosen neighboring sample.
Approve the actual coating and the least favorable view
Choose the extra wall depth for the cabinet contrast, with a separate evening check near the floor. The undertones and neighboring colors covers that related choice. The trim color comparison covers that related choice.
Keep the approved dried board with the complete Benjamin Moore 1565 product and finish specification. Follow the actual coating instructions for application, drying and preparation; the color name does not settle those requirements. The daylight and evening-light checks covers that related choice. Before ordering samples, compare room-planning features in the paint color visualizer roundup.
