Benjamin Moore

Bachelor Blue

1629

Bachelor Blue is a saturated blue with dark gray undertones that deepen the color. Its LRV of 23.52 places it in a darker mid-range, so it reads dense on large walls. In cooler daylight the gray note is more apparent.

It is suitable for studies, media rooms, or accent walls where a deep blue is needed. Pair it with White Dove or Pale Oak for light balance, and add Wrought Iron or Gray Owl for coordinated contrast.

Bachelor Blue 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.
