Benjamin Moore

Blue Ice

821 / CC-850

Blue Ice is a light periwinkle with a subtle lilac undertone. An LRV of 58.96 keeps it in a light mid range. It suits bedrooms, baths, or sitting rooms where a cool blue-violet is desired.

White Dove and Gray Owl provide neutral balance, while Lavender Mist and Iced Mauve keep the violet range light. Hale Navy or Tarrytown Green can add contrast.

Blue Ice 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.
