Benjamin Moore

Rhine River

689 / AC-19

Rhine River is a muted blue-green with noticeable gray undertones that temper its color intensity, producing a stony, subdued finish. At an LRV of 47.1, it sits in the medium-reflectance range, functioning adequately in both naturally lit and lower-light rooms without appearing too dark or washed out. The gray base keeps it from reading as overtly teal, pushing it toward a neutral-leaning blue-green.

It coordinates well with Chantilly Lace and Swiss Coffee as lighter counterpoints, while Hale Navy and Kendall Charcoal provide grounding contrast. Wythe Blue offers a close tonal companion within the same cool family.

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.
