Benjamin Moore

Opal Essence

680

Opal Essence by Benjamin Moore is a pale blue-green with soft green undertones that give it a cool, muted quality reminiscent of light reflecting off iridescent surfaces. With an LRV of 75.42, it reflects a high amount of light while retaining enough chromatic content to read as a distinct color rather than a plain white. It is well suited for bedrooms, bathrooms, and other spaces where a quiet, cool-toned atmosphere is useful.

Opal Essence coordinates with Benjamin Moore's White Dove, Swiss Coffee, Hale Navy, Kendall Charcoal, and Windham Cream, supporting both analogous cool schemes and warm-cool contrast pairings.
