Benjamin Moore

Montpelier

AF-555

Montpelier (AF-555) is a slate-toned blue-gray with indigo undertones that distinguish it from standard mid-grays. With an LRV of 22.36, it is a darker value that absorbs considerable light and reads as a moody, cool-leaning neutral. The indigo component gives it a subtle blue cast most visible in daylight, while the gray base keeps it from appearing overtly blue.

Among Benjamin Moore pairings, Battenberg (AF-70) provides a warm off-white complement, Cotswold (AF-150) offers a lighter gray bridge, Blue Lace (1625) echoes its blue undertone in a paler register, and Hale Navy (HC-154) deepens the palette for a tonal scheme.
