Benjamin Moore

Saratoga Springs

1669

Saratoga Springs is a cool, muted blue with gray undertones and an LRV of 41.76, situating it in the lower-mid reflectance range. The gray component keeps it from reading as a primary blue, lending it a quieter, more restrained character on large wall surfaces. It shifts subtly under different lighting conditions, appearing cooler in daylight and slightly flatter under warm artificial light.

It coordinates with Benjamin Moore Palladian Blue, Wythe Blue, Hale Navy, White Dove, and Simply White, supporting layered blue schemes or clean contrast pairings.

Saratoga Springs in Different Light

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.
