Benjamin Moore

Old Glory

811

Old Glory is a deep azure blue from Benjamin Moore with cool blue undertones and a Light Reflectance Value of 15.93, placing it in the low-reflectance range. Its saturated depth makes it suitable for accent walls, studies, and living rooms where a strong focal point is needed. Because of its intensity, it benefits from pairing with lighter tones such as White Dove or Edgecomb Gray to provide contrast.

Warmer companions like Summer Harvest or Lafayette Green add balance, while Ocean Air offers a tonal blue transition.
