Benjamin Moore

Palladian Blue

HC-144

Palladian Blue by Benjamin Moore is a muted blue-green with a subtle gray undertone that prevents it from appearing overly saturated. Its Light Reflectance Value of 60.4 allows moderate light reflection, making it functional as a primary wall color in bedrooms, bathrooms, and living spaces without feeling stark. The hue leans cool and reads as a quiet coastal tone under natural light.

It pairs reliably with warm whites such as Benjamin Moore's White Dove and Ballet White, while Hale Navy offers a grounding contrast. Alexandria Beige and soft sage tones like Quiet Moments sit comfortably alongside it.
