Benjamin Moore

Morning Glory

785

Benjamin Moore Morning Glory (785) is a clear, medium-light blue with cool cyan undertones and minimal gray, giving it a clean, straightforward read. With an LRV of 68.06, it sits in a range that provides visible color while still reflecting a good amount of light. It lacks strong green or purple shifts, staying true to a sky-toned blue across most lighting conditions.

It pairs well with Ice Mist (OC-67) for a near-white trim, Creekbed (1006) for a warm brown contrast, Distant Gray (OC-68) for a neutral companion, and Marblehead Gold (HC-11) for a traditional warm accent.

Morning Glory 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.
