Benjamin Moore

Wild Blue Yonder

CSP-620

Wild Blue Yonder (Benjamin Moore) is a medium-value blue with a gray undertone that moderates its saturation and imparts a muted, subdued quality. The LRV of 26.97 places it in the lower-mid reflectance range, meaning it absorbs more light than it reflects and reads as a decidedly mid-to-dark tone. Its hex value #798E99 reveals balanced blue content with secondary gray-green influence.

Effective same-brand pairings include White Dove, Classic Gray, Hale Navy, Kendall Charcoal, and Palladian Blue for combinations ranging from light contrast to analogous depth.
