Benjamin Moore

Mineral Alloy

1622

Benjamin Moore Mineral Alloy (1622) is a mid-toned blue-gray with an LRV of 28.46, placing it in the medium-dark range. A strong gray component mutes the blue base, and a secondary green undertone can surface depending on surrounding colors and light quality. It reads as a quiet, steel-toned blue rather than a vivid one.

It pairs effectively with the lighter blue-gray of Pilgrim Haze (2132-50), the deeper navy of Philipsburg Blue (HC-159), the grounded tone of Normandy (2129-40), and the neutral warmth of Silver Fox (2108-50).

Mineral Alloy 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.
