Benjamin Moore

Porcelain Glaze

CSP-550

Porcelain Glaze by Benjamin Moore is a soft blue with evident gray undertones that moderate its saturation and give it a muted, weathered quality. It has an LRV of 43.42, placing it at a middle reflectance level that reads as light without overwhelming a room with brightness. This shade is suitable for living rooms, bedrooms, and bathrooms where a quiet blue backdrop is needed.

Its gray base helps it transition smoothly against trim and ceiling colors. Cloud Cover and Silver Satin maintain an airy, tonal pairing, Hale Navy provides strong value contrast, and Revere Pewter introduces enough warmth to prevent an entirely cool scheme.

Porcelain Glaze in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
