Hamilton Blue

HC-191 / PM-6

Hamilton Blue is a dark, muted blue with gray undertones that create a stony, weathered appearance. The LRV of 18.25 indicates low light reflectance, appropriate for dining rooms, libraries, or accent applications. The gray influence softens this blue and prevents it from reading as vivid or saturated.

Benjamin Moore Van Deusen Blue and Gentleman's Gray provide analogous coordination, while White Dove and Simply White create clean contrast. Bennington Gray offers a neutral companion that respects the cool undertones without competing.
