Benjamin Moore

Under the Big Top

1675 / CC-788

Under the Big Top from Benjamin Moore is a light, powdery blue with cool undertones and an LRV of 63.41, giving it a high degree of light reflectance while still reading distinctly as blue rather than white. The hue sits in a soft, muted range with a slight gray cast that prevents it from appearing overly saturated. It performs consistently under both natural and artificial light, maintaining its cool tonality.

Compatible colors from the same brand include Iceberg, Gray Owl, Hale Navy, Pale Smoke, and Silver Fox, supporting both tonal and contrasting schemes.
