Benjamin Moore

Prussian Blue

CW-625

Prussian Blue by Benjamin Moore is a deep, cool blue rooted in the historic 18th-century pigment of the same name. Its Light Reflectance Value of 12.17 means it absorbs the majority of light, producing a concentrated, dark tone suited to dining rooms, libraries, and accent walls where visual depth is the objective. The hue leans toward a classical navy with slight teal-cool undertones rather than warm violet-blue.

Benjamin Moore's White Dove and Simply White deliver effective contrast against its darkness, Hawthorne Yellow introduces a warm complementary accent, and Saybrook Sage or Blue Heron extend an analogous cool-toned palette.

Prussian Blue 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.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
