Benjamin Moore

Lake Placid

827

Lake Placid is a cool, pale blue carrying quiet undertones of violet and gray that prevent it from reading too icy or stark. With an LRV of 64.8, it reflects substantial light while still registering as a definite color rather than an off-white. The violet lean becomes more apparent in warm lighting, while the gray base steadies it under cooler conditions.

It works alongside White Dove, Simply White, and Misty Lilac, and takes well to contrast from deeper tones like Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal.

Lake Placid 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.
