Benjamin Moore

Alfresco

1672

Alfresco by Benjamin Moore is a deep, dusty blue with cool gray undertones that keep it from reading too saturated. At an LRV of 21.68, it absorbs a good deal of light and works well in bedrooms, home offices, or accent walls where a quieter backdrop is needed. It holds steady under both natural and artificial light without shifting noticeably toward green or purple.

For trim and ceilings, Chantilly Lace or White Dove provide clean contrast, while Hale Navy can deepen an adjoining surface. Saybrook Sage offers a muted complement, and Kendall Charcoal grounds the scheme in darker applications.

Alfresco in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
