About Sleeping Angel

Sleeping Angel (854) is a very light, muted green from Benjamin Moore that leans yellow. With an LRV of 80, Sleeping Angel reflects most of the light that hits it, which helps small or dim rooms feel larger.

In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Sleeping Angel's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for bedrooms, bathrooms, nurseries and living rooms. It's very close to Green Essence (853); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.
