Benjamin Moore

Waterdrop

CC-902

Waterdrop (BM) is a saturated azure blue carrying violet undertones, represented by hex #5C79B3. Its LRV of 21.52 positions it as a moderately deep color that absorbs a significant portion of ambient light. The violet influence shifts this blue away from a pure primary toward a cooler, purple-inflected mid-tone.

It pairs within the Benjamin Moore line with White Dove, Simply White, Kendall Charcoal, Misty Lilac, and Soft Fern, allowing combinations that range from high-contrast neutral backdrops to tonal analogous groupings.
