Benjamin Moore

English Hyacinth

1417

English Hyacinth is a soft periwinkle with a blue undertone that registers an LRV of 61.85, placing it in the upper-mid range for light reflectance. It reads as a light, cool-toned violet-blue that can brighten rooms without appearing stark. This color is well suited for bedrooms and low-traffic areas where a quiet, cool palette is preferred.

Its blue undertone keeps it from shifting toward pink under most lighting conditions. For coordinated palettes, pair it with Benjamin Moore White Dove, Chantilly Lace, Kendall Charcoal, Hale Navy, or Mauve Mist.
