Balsam
There is more to Benjamin Moore Balsam (567) than the swatch alone: its depth, undertones and setting all shape the final impression. Its cool classification gives it a crisper edge that may become clearer beside warm timber, cream or brass. Because screens flatten both light and texture, sample the paint beside the finishes that will ultimately surround it.
