Benjamin Moore

Blue Heather

1620 / CC-816

Blue Heather is a soft slate blue with gray undertones. An LRV of 50.92 puts it in a mid-light range, so it reads balanced on walls. It suits bedrooms, studies, or hallways where a muted blue-gray is needed.

White Dove and Pale Oak keep contrast light, while Boothbay Gray reinforces the gray note. Hale Navy can deepen adjacent accents.

Blue Heather 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.
