Benjamin Moore

Normandy

2129-40

Normandy by Benjamin Moore is a deep blue-gray with cool undertones and a desaturated profile that keeps it from reading as overtly blue. Its LRV of 21.73 indicates low to moderate reflectance, making it effective for adding depth in well-lit rooms or establishing a grounded tone in studies, dining rooms, and coastal-influenced interiors. The near-neutral balance allows it to function as either a primary wall color or a supporting accent.

Benjamin Moore White Dove and Chantilly Lace provide clean contrast, Boothbay Gray offers an analogous transition, and Caldwell Green or Smoke introduce complementary depth without competing for visual dominance.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
