Benjamin Moore

Horizon

1478 / OC-53

Horizon is a pale gray with distinct blue undertones that keep it feeling fresh and modern. With an LRV of 72.82, this color reflects substantial light and works well in rooms that benefit from brightness without stark white walls. The blue cast is subtle enough to maintain neutrality while preventing the gray from appearing flat or dull.

This shade pairs naturally with Benjamin Moore's Iceberg for a cool layered effect, Wickham Gray for tonal depth, Chantilly Lace for trim, Simply White for ceilings, and deeper charcoals for definition in architectural details.
