Benjamin Moore

Winter's Eve

CC-844 / 804

Winter's Eve (BM) is a deep, saturated blue with gray undertones, presenting a hex value of #40729C and an LRV of 17.6. The low LRV classifies it as a dark color that absorbs a significant amount of light, making it best suited for accent walls or smaller spaces with adequate lighting. Within Benjamin Moore, it pairs with Silver Gray, Wickham Gray, Simply White, Balboa Mist, and Kendall Charcoal.

The gray inflection tempers the blue saturation, keeping it from reading as a primary blue and lending it a more subdued, tonal character.
