Benjamin Moore

Stillwater

1650 / HC-159

Stillwater is a grayish blue with an LRV of 19.06, placing it in the lower-reflectance range where it reads as a medium-dark, muted tone. The hex value 627885 indicates a dominant blue channel tempered by gray, producing a restrained, desaturated appearance rather than a vivid blue. Under warm lighting the gray component strengthens, while daylight reveals more of the blue base.

Benjamin Moore Pale Oak and Edgecomb Gray pair as warm neutral counterpoints that offset its coolness. Kendall Charcoal reinforces depth in adjacent areas, while Palladian Blue and Soft Fern extend the palette through lighter analogous tones.
