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.
