Benjamin Moore

Glacier Blue

1653

Glacier Blue is a light, cool blue with subtle green undertones and a clean, airy quality. Its LRV of 69.56 means it reflects a significant amount of light, making spaces feel open. This shade works well in bedrooms, bathrooms, and living areas with a coastal or Scandinavian aesthetic.

Benjamin Moore's White Ice and Silver Half Dollar maintain cool harmony, Hale Navy adds depth, and Palladian Blue offers an analogous pairing for a cohesive cool-toned palette.
