Benjamin Moore

Yin Yang

824

Yin Yang (BM) is a medium-depth blue with distinct violet-gray undertones, identifiable in its hex value (#6A82A8) where the blue channel dominates over subdued red and green values. It registers an LRV of 23.2, classifying it as a darker mid-tone that absorbs more light than it reflects. The smoky quality comes from its gray component, which tempers the blue saturation.

Within Benjamin Moore, it coordinates with Hale Navy, Chelsea Gray, Silver Mist, Wickham Gray, and Chantilly Lace for tonal and contrasting combinations.

Yin Yang in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
