Benjamin Moore

Palace Blue

CW-605

Palace Blue is a mid-toned, historically referenced blue from Benjamin Moore's Williamsburg collection, developed from 1770s-era palette documentation. It has a cool undertone and a Light Reflectance Value of 33.34, placing it in the moderate reflectance range where it reads as neither too dark nor too light on walls. It is suitable for living rooms, bedrooms, and formal sitting areas in both traditional and transitional interiors.

It pairs well with Dunmore Cream for warm contrast, Bruton White for clean trim applications, Cornwallis Red for a bold complementary accent, and Carter Plum to create depth within a cool-toned scheme.
