Benjamin Moore

Faded Denim

795 / CC-786

Faded Denim is a mid-tone powder blue with a cool undertone that keeps the hue clean and open. It has an LRV of 51.55, placing it near the center of the light-reflectance scale with moderate brightness. The color reads distinctly blue without shifting heavily toward gray or green.

For warm contrast, pair it with Benjamin Moore White Dove or Pale Oak. Hale Navy provides a deep tonal anchor, while Palladian Blue and Gray Owl offer quieter, analogous combinations that stay within the cool range.
