Sherwin Williams

White Dogwood

SW 6315

Yin Yang by Benjamin Moore is a mid-depth blue with distinct smoky violet undertones, hex #6A82A8. At an LRV of 23.2, it sits in the lower reflectance range, reading as a noticeably deep, cool-toned color that absorbs the majority of ambient light. The violet cast in its base differentiates it from standard slate blues, lending a cooler, slightly purple-gray dimension.

Hale Navy and Chelsea Gray pair well for layered cool-dark schemes, while Silver Mist and Wickham Gray offer lighter-value contrast within the same cool family. Pale cream tones can offset its depth effectively.
