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.
