Benjamin Moore

Paddington Blue

791

Paddington Blue is a primary blue from Benjamin Moore that carries a clean, cool undertone without significant gray or green shifts. It has a Light Reflectance Value of 16.01, placing it in the deeper mid-tone range where it absorbs considerable light and produces a bold wall presence. It works well in living areas, studies, and children's rooms where a strong blue is appropriate.

For trim contrast, Chantilly Lace provides a crisp white boundary, while Silver Satin offers a soft gray transition. Saybrook Sage introduces a muted green complement, and Hale Navy anchors adjacent surfaces in a layered scheme.
