Benjamin Moore color check

5 years ago

Hi folks, does anyone know which color blue this is? Searched everywhere for this kitchen and came up empty. Fully realize that we won’t nail the exact color, but close enough is good enough. TIA

    Close?

    I don’t think so on my monitor 826 have a purple undertone. The best is take a copy of the pic to the paint store and see how close you come to that color and take the chips outside do not use the lighting in the store to compare color. Also in your kitchen make sure all your lighting is LED 4000K (which mimics bright daylight)

    Recommend taking the photo to a paint store and choosing 3 paints that look close.


    Paint sample drywall boards.


    Narrow down from there.


    Keep in mind that there are many factors that determine what paint will look like in your space, including, but not limited to: lighting, time of day, time of year, cloud-cover, geographical location, surface it is painted on, other elements around it, etc.


    So, even if you found out the exact paint color here, it would not necessarily look the same in your space.

    All 3 of these colours belong to the Purple-Blue Hue Family. This is where the majority of colours many would describe as ‘navy’ originate.

    This might be another close possibility, depending upon your lighting.

    Looks similar to this bathroom we did which was Kensington Blue:

    Or it could be Hale Navy, which is what we used for this kitchen:

    You guys are awesome, thanks so much.

    Looks like Kensington blue, but we’ll get swatches of each of those colors.

    Benjamin Moore Scuff-X

    JuneKnow- not sure what you mean. We have a cabinet painter using Milesi 2K Poly on cabinets and island.

    I think the "stunning" color is just that - stunning. It would be the one I would choose, hands down.


    No idea what JuneKnow is referring to. Trim and wood cabinets can certainly be painted with the same paint. BM Advance paint is recommended for trim and cabinets. In fact it is widely respected for cabinets and wood trim. It cures to a very hard finish. It is what I used on my cabinets, and all my trim and doors. It is still fabulous, 4 years later.

    @SF, generally speaking, cabinet makers use a paint base for spraying that resists chipping and has a protective coat. They can match pretty much any major paint vendor's colors.

    Right. We are choosing a BM color, he is using this color code to obtain the corresponding Milesi paint.

  • 5 years ago

    Consider BM soot. It is more of a blue/black that goes well with white.

    JuneKnow, it is used by TONS of professional painters, for cabinets. PROS. The paint you are referring to must be sprayed on. If you are going to hire someone to spray your cabinets (which I would NEVER do in my home - way too much mess!!) then go ahead. For the more reasonable lot of us that are painting our existing cabinets, BM Advance is an EXCELLENT trim AND cabinet paint. And yes, I am a DIYer - no way am I hiring someone to do what I can. and did, myself.

    Deep Royal Blue BM

    My guess would be BM Van Deusen blue HC-156.

    Here it is used in a kitchen.....looks quite similar to the inspiration picture. Of course, lighting etc can make a huge difference.

    Here are some blues to try. Get some samples and see which appeals to you the most in the space you want to use it and with the lighting you will be using.

    "Join the Kitchen Cabinet Painting Experts FB group and expose yourself to what real world pros do."

    LOL. No thanks - my paint work that I have done will stand up to damn near anyone calling themselves a "pro" these days. I've been trying to hire painters to finish the trim painting in my home, for 2 months. Can't find a single one that will do the job as it should be done. I'm sure they know how, but they simply will NOT do it. Lots of people talk the talk. Finding the ones that walk the walk is a different story.


    (I had a custom-made island done, 3 years ago. Fabulous cabinetry - and he loves Advance paint.)
