Buckland Blue

HC-151 / 1658

Buckland Blue is a cool cerulean blue with a slightly gray undertone. Its LRV of 23.2 gives it medium depth, so it reads saturated without becoming very dark. It works in bedrooms, bathrooms, or living areas where a muted blue is needed.

It pairs with Benjamin Moore White Dove and Simply White for light contrast, and with Kendall Charcoal or Black Forest Green for depth; Edgecomb Gray can bridge adjacent spaces.
