Benjamin Moore

Mill Springs Blue

HC-137

Mill Springs Blue is a muted blue-green from Benjamin Moore's Historical Color collection, with green undertones that push it toward teal rather than true blue. With an LRV of 33.57, it sits in the medium range and reads as a softened, dusty tone rather than a saturated statement color. The green component is especially visible in warm lighting, while cooler light draws out the blue.

It coordinates with Wickham Gray (HC-171) and White (OC-151) for crisp contrast, and pairs effectively with Cos Cob Stonewall (1483) and Titanium (OC-49) for layered neutral schemes.
