Spirit in the Sky
What Spirit in the Sky Actually Looks Like
Spirit in the Sky reads as a calm, dusty teal. It sits between blue and green without leaning hard in either direction, and the gray in it keeps things quiet rather than punchy. On a wall it feels collected and cool, closer to a spa-like gray-teal than anything bright or saturated.
Spirit in the Sky Undertones
The color carries both blue and green in roughly equal measure, softened by a clear gray base. That gray is what separates it from a true aqua or turquoise. In warm artificial light the green can come forward a little. In cooler north-facing or natural daylight, the blue tends to dominate and the overall effect grows more silvery.
Where Spirit in the Sky Works Best
Mid-tone dusty teals work well where you want a room to feel grounded and easy without going dark. Bedrooms and bathrooms are natural fits because the color reads as restful. It can also carry a living room or home office when you want something with more personality than a gray but more restraint than a saturated jewel tone.
Where to put Spirit in the Sky
The muted, cool quality of Spirit in the Sky makes a bedroom feel settled rather than stimulating. Pair it with warm white trim and natural linen or wood tones to stop the room from reading cold.
In a bathroom with good light this color performs really well. The gray-teal reads clean without the clinical edge of a straight blue-gray, and it complements both white tile and warmer stone.
It is focused without being harsh. In a space where you spend hours working, a dusty teal at this saturation level gives you something to look at without competing with your screen or wearing on you over a long day.

Common questions
The LRV is 46.04, which puts it in the true mid-tone range. It will not read as moody or dark in most rooms, but it has enough depth to feel like a real color decision rather than a near-neutral. In a small room with limited light it can feel noticeably deeper than it looks on a chip.
Yes. Spirit in the Sky 676 is available in both Benjamin Moore interior and exterior lines.
Yes, as with any paint. A flat or matte finish will make the color read slightly lighter and more powdery. An eggshell or satin adds a subtle reflectivity that can make the blue-green quality more apparent. Avoid high-gloss on large wall surfaces if you want the color to stay soft.
Sherwin-Williams Tidewater SW 6477 is a reasonable starting point in the same muted blue-green family, but always sample both side by side on your actual wall before committing since light conditions in your space will shift each color differently.
