Benjamin Moore

Skylark Song

778

Skylark Song carries an LRV of 66.14, placing it in the higher light-reflectance range among pastels. It reads as a light, cool blue with minimal gray, staying close to a sky-blue tone without drifting into periwinkle or lavender territory. The undertone is clean and slightly green-blue, which keeps it from appearing overly icy.

In rooms with strong natural light it can wash out toward near-white, while in lower-light conditions its blue character becomes more defined. It coordinates with Benjamin Moore Silver Half Dollar, White Heron, Van Deusen Blue, Sea Foam, and Beach Glass.
