Williamsburg Wythe Blue

CW-590

Williamsburg Wythe Blue (Benjamin Moore) is a blue-gray with Prussian blue undertones layered over a gray base, hex #7E9EA0. The LRV of 33.4 indicates moderate light reflectance, positioning it as a mid-tone that reads neither overly light nor heavy. Cool undertones dominate, with the gray component tempering the blue saturation.

Effective same-brand pairings include White Dove and Classic Gray for light contrast, Hale Navy and Kendall Charcoal for deeper tonal layering, and Pale Oak for a warm neutral that softens the overall coolness of the palette.
