Benjamin Moore

Polaris Blue

1649

Polaris Blue is a dusty mid-tone blue from Benjamin Moore with an LRV of 29.27, registering in the lower-medium reflectance range. It reads as muted and slightly grayed, carrying cool undertones that avoid heavy saturation. This makes it a functional wall color for living rooms, studies, and bedrooms where moderate depth is needed without overwhelming the space.

It pairs effectively with Gray Owl for lighter adjacent surfaces, Wickham Gray for a tonal complement, Hale Navy as a deeper accent, Kendall Charcoal for trim contrast, and Misty Blue for a softer analogous scheme.
