Benjamin Moore

New York State of Mind

805

New York State of Mind by Benjamin Moore is a deep, saturated navy blue with cool undertones and a subtle gray cast that keeps it from reading overly bright. It registers an LRV of 10.51, meaning it absorbs most ambient light and works best in well-lit rooms such as studies, living rooms, or bedrooms where a grounded backdrop is needed. Its cool depth pairs naturally with Benjamin Moore's Silver Mist, Gray Owl, Simply White, Beacon Gray, and Woodlawn Blue, all of which either contrast or extend its blue-gray character without competing for attention.
