Benjamin Moore

Boulevard

CC-394 / 1005, AC-38

Boulevard is a mid-tone neutral with a muted mauve undertone. Its LRV of 48.88 keeps it in the mid range, so it reads as a warm gray-beige in most light. It can be used in living rooms, bedrooms, or dining areas where a subdued neutral is needed.

It pairs with Benjamin Moore Edgecomb Gray and Calm for soft coordination, and with Kendall Charcoal or Hale Navy for contrast; Misty Blue or Soft Fern can introduce muted color.

Boulevard 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.
