Benjamin Moore

Winter Lake

2129-50

Winter Lake (BM) is a medium gray with blue undertones, registering an LRV of 40.96, which positions it in the mid-reflectance range. Hex #9CADB7 confirms a noticeable blue cast layered over the gray base, making it read cooler than standard mid-tone grays. The blue undertone intensifies in spaces with abundant natural light and moderates under warm incandescent sources.

Effective Benjamin Moore pairings include Iceberg, Glass Slipper, Hale Navy, White Dove, and Classic Gray, enabling coordinated applications from trim contrast to adjacent wall color transitions.
