Benjamin Moore

Old Canal

1132

Old Blue Jeans by Benjamin Moore is a faded cornflower blue with cool gray undertones and an LRV of 25.34, placing it in the medium-low reflectance range. The muted, dusty quality gives it a worn character that reads well in bedrooms, studies, and living rooms where a subdued wall color is needed. Its gray content prevents it from appearing overly saturated under natural or artificial light.

For coordinating schemes, Benjamin Moore's Gray Owl and Nimbus work as soft gray companions, Simply White provides clean contrast, and Palladian Blue and Spring Sky extend the cool palette in an analogous direction.
