Benjamin Moore

Vermont Slate

1673

Vermont Slate (Benjamin Moore) is a cool blue with noticeable green undertones, producing a muted, slate-like appearance. At an LRV of 12.9, it sits on the darker end of the spectrum and absorbs most ambient light, which gives it considerable visual weight on walls and trim. The green shift keeps it from reading as a pure blue, lending a slightly weathered, mineral quality to the hue.

It coordinates well with Simply White, Chantilly Lace, Wythe Blue, Hale Navy, and Smoke, all from Benjamin Moore, allowing for both high-contrast and tonal pairings.
