Benjamin Moore

Blue Heather

1620 / CC-816

Blue Heather is a soft slate blue with gray undertones. An LRV of 50.92 puts it in a mid-light range, so it reads balanced on walls. It suits bedrooms, studies, or hallways where a muted blue-gray is needed.

White Dove and Pale Oak keep contrast light, while Boothbay Gray reinforces the gray note. Hale Navy can deepen adjacent accents.
