Benjamin Moore

Mozart Blue

1665 / CC-782

Mozart Blue is a mid-tone blue with pronounced gray undertones and a slight teal lean that keeps it from reading as a straightforward navy or cobalt. With an LRV of 16.93, it sits in the darker range and absorbs most light, making it well-suited for accent applications or smaller rooms where depth is the goal. The gray component tempers the blue saturation, giving it a dusty, weathered quality.

Benjamin Moore's own pairings include Muslin (1037) and Swiss Coffee (OC-45) as warm neutral counterparts, Baked Cumin (1062) for an earthy contrast, and Fernwood Green (2145-40) as a natural complement.
