Benjamin Moore

Polar Sky

1674 / CC-790

Polar Sky is a pale, cool-toned blue from Benjamin Moore with an LRV of 68.77, placing it in the higher reflectance range suitable for brightening enclosed spaces. Its crisp, clean undertone leans slightly toward icy blue-gray, making it functional in bedrooms, bathrooms, and living rooms where a calm, open feel is needed. This shade coordinates well with White Dove for trim work, Gray Owl for adjacent walls, Hale Navy as an accent, Decorator's White on ceilings, and Soft Fern for a subtle green complement in transitional spaces.
