Benjamin Moore

Palatial Skies

800

Palatial Skies by Benjamin Moore is a soft periwinkle blue with cool undertones that read clearly blue-violet under natural daylight. Its LRV of 54.73 places it in the mid-light range, providing enough reflectance to keep a room bright while still delivering noticeable color. This shade functions well in bedrooms, bathrooms, and sitting areas where a cool, quiet atmosphere is appropriate.

It coordinates effectively with Benjamin Moore's Whispering Spring and Silver Mist for an analogous cool palette, while Hale Navy adds depth as an accent, and Simply White or Chantilly Lace can be used on trim to maintain crispness.
