Benjamin Moore

Spellbound

1659

Spellbound is a deep, cool blue darkened by a near-black base, giving it a muted, shadowy quality. With an LRV of 13.29, it reflects very little light and will read substantially darker in rooms with limited natural illumination. Its cool undertones stay consistent across most lighting conditions, though it can shift slightly toward teal under warm bulbs.

White Dove and Simply White offer sharp contrast for trim and millwork. Hale Navy and Gentleman's Gray provide analogous depth, while Revere Pewter introduces a controlled warm counterpoint in adjacent spaces.

Spellbound 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.
