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.

Faded Denim 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.
