Jack Frost

729

Jack Frost is a light blue-green with cool, clean undertones that lean slightly more toward aqua than true teal. At an LRV of 73.14, it reflects a substantial amount of light, keeping rooms bright while introducing noticeable color. The blue and green components are closely balanced, so the hue can shift depending on the light source - cooler light pulls it toward blue, while warmer light draws out the green.

It pairs well with Benjamin Moore Swiss Coffee, Decorator's White, Hale Navy, Kendall Charcoal, and Palladian Blue.

Jack Frost 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.
