Benjamin Moore

Water's Edge

1635 / HC-145, AC-23

Water's Edge (BM) is a mid-tone blue-gray with cool undertones, carrying an LRV of 31.48. At this moderate reflectance, the color neither dominates a room with darkness nor washes out in strong light, maintaining a balanced presence. The gray content tempers the blue base, resulting in a desaturated, neutral-leaning hue.

Effective same-brand pairings include Chantilly Lace, Gray Owl, Kendall Charcoal, Palladian Blue, and Sea Foam, accommodating both warm-cool contrast and unified cool-toned palettes.
