Benjamin Moore

Randolph Blue

CW-615

Randolph Blue by Benjamin Moore is a saturated, cool-toned blue inspired by 18th-century distemper paints. With an LRV of 22.21, it absorbs a significant amount of light, producing a dense, enveloping appearance on walls. The hue leans toward teal, carrying green undertones that become more visible in natural daylight.

It reads distinctly darker in low-light interiors. Chantilly Lace and Cloud Cover work as high-contrast trim options, while Revere Pewter adds a warm neutral balance. Terra Cotta Tile introduces an earthy complement, and Wythe Blue extends the blue range at a lighter value.

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.
