Benjamin Moore

Daydream

CSP-615

Daydream is a mid-tone blue from Benjamin Moore with subtle gray undertones that temper its brightness and keep it from reading too saturated. It has an LRV of 49.64, placing it near the center of the light-dark scale and allowing it to reflect a moderate amount of light. The gray base gives it a cool, measured quality suited to bedrooms and living rooms.

It coordinates with Benjamin Moore's Silver Mist and Winter Solstice in analogous schemes, while Hale Navy adds depth and Simply White or Chantilly Lace provide clean contrast.

Daydream 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.
