Benjamin Moore

Wetherburn's Blue

CW-580

Wetherburn's Blue (CW-580) is a blue from Benjamin Moore's Williamsburg Collection featuring discernible green undertones derived from mid-18th-century architectural references. It has an LRV of 23.6, making it a moderately dark shade that provides visual weight without dominating a room entirely. The green inflection distinguishes it from pure blues and gives it a teal-adjacent quality in certain lighting.

Compatible Benjamin Moore pairings include Carter Plum, Bruton White, Decorator's White, Dragon's Breath, and analogous muted earth tones. It performs well in rooms with ample natural light.
