Benjamin Moore

Blue Grass

CC-640 / 695

Blue Grass is a light blue-green with a pistachio undertone. Its LRV of 60.22 keeps it bright but not stark. It works in bedrooms, baths, or halls where a soft blue-green is needed.

Healing Aloe and Soft Fern keep the palette gentle, while Balboa Mist and Gray Owl provide neutral balance. Night Train or Black Forest Green can deepen the scheme.

Blue Grass 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.
