Benjamin Moore

Blue Heron

832 / CC-840

Blue Heron is a violet-blue with gray undertones. Its LRV of 15.77 is low, so it reads deep and muted. It works in bedrooms, reading nooks, or accent walls where a dark blue-violet is needed.

White Dove and Classic Gray provide light balance, while Shadow and Van Deusen Blue keep a related range. Hale Navy can add depth.

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.
