Greyhound
What Greyhound Actually Looks Like
Greyhound 1579 sits in that quiet middle ground between gray, green, and blue. It is not a true neutral and not a saturated color either. In most daylight it reads as a cool, slightly muted sage-gray with a soft aquatic quality. In lower light it pulls darker and more definitively gray. In bright south-facing rooms it can lean a touch more green.
Greyhound Undertones
The hex and RGB values point to a color with roughly equal green and blue influence sitting under a gray surface. The green and blue are close enough in value that the undertone shifts depending on what surrounds the color. Pair it with warm whites or wood tones and the cool side becomes more pronounced. Put it next to true greens and it reads grayer. There is no meaningful red or yellow in this color.
Where Greyhound Works Best
This color works well where you want calm without plainness. It has enough color presence to feel intentional on a full wall but enough gray in it to stay easy to live with. It suits spaces that benefit from a receding, composed feeling rather than energy or warmth.
Where to put Greyhound
On four walls Greyhound 1579 creates a composed, envelope-style feel. It works especially well in rooms with natural wood furniture or linen upholstery, where the cool gray-green reads sophisticated without feeling cold. Keep trim in a clean warm white to stop the room from feeling flat.
The mid-tone value and blue-green gray quality make this a genuinely restful bedroom color. It is deep enough to feel intentional but not so dark that the room shrinks. In north-facing bedrooms it will read more gray and cool, so lean toward warmer textiles to balance it.
Greyhound 1579 is focused without being stark. The muted cool tone reduces visual noise, which suits a working environment. It handles artificial task lighting reasonably well, though warm-toned bulbs will dull the green-blue quality slightly.
In a smaller bathroom with chrome or brushed nickel hardware this color reads clean and spa-like. In a bathroom with warm brass fixtures the contrast between the cool wall and warm metal is pronounced, which can work in your favor if that contrast is intentional.

Common questions
The LRV is 37.93, which places it solidly in mid-tone territory. It is not a light color that bounces light around a room, and it is not so dark that it feels heavy. Think of it as a color that absorbs a moderate amount of light and gives a room a grounded, settled feeling rather than an airy one.
That depends on light and surroundings. In neutral to cool light it reads primarily as gray with a soft blue-green quality. In warm afternoon light or alongside warm-toned materials, the cool green-blue becomes more visible by contrast. It rarely reads as a true green.
Eggshell is the most practical choice for most walls. It is easy to clean, adds a subtle depth to the color, and does not reflect light in a way that flattens the tone the way flat can. Reserve matte for low-traffic areas where you want the softest, most muted version of the color.
Yes. Benjamin Moore lists it as available in both interior and exterior products.
