Benjamin Moore

Heavenly Blue

709

Heavenly Blue is a blue-gray blend with balanced undertones that prevent it from reading too warm or too cool. The LRV of 56.47 places it in the mid-range for light reflection. It functions well in bedrooms and bathrooms.

Compatible colors include Benjamin Moore Horizon, Gray Owl, and Sea Star for tonal coordination, while Hale Navy and Wrought Iron offer darker accents that emphasize the color's gray-blue qualities without creating harsh contrast.

Heavenly Blue 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.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
