Benjamin Moore

Providence Blue

1636 / AC-24

Providence Blue from Benjamin Moore is a cool-toned slate blue defined by its dark gray undertones, which keep it firmly in muted, desaturated territory. With a Light Reflectance Value of 19.23, it absorbs a considerable amount of light and reads as a medium-dark neutral blue in most settings. It works well in bedrooms, studies, and living rooms where a subdued, grounded atmosphere is the goal.

Benjamin Moore's Gray Owl and Stonington Gray complement its cool base for a tonal scheme, Chantilly Lace provides a clean white contrast, and Caliente or Kendall Charcoal introduce depth and warmth against its slate character.
