Benjamin Moore

Manor Blue

1627

Manor Blue is a mid-tone blue-gray with pronounced cool gray undertones that anchor it firmly on the neutral side of the blue spectrum. At an LRV of 46.78, it absorbs and reflects light in roughly equal measure, giving it a stony, atmospheric quality that shifts between blue and gray depending on the light source. It leans cooler under fluorescent lighting and reads slightly warmer in natural afternoon light.

Gray Owl or Paper White make effective trim pairings, while Kendall Charcoal or Hale Navy deepen the tonal contrast. Pale Oak and Wind's Breath provide warm counterpoints.

Manor 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.
