Blue Heron
Benjamin Moore's Blue Heron is a purple shade whose quieter details emerge through comparison. A blue undertone may emerge most clearly where the paint meets a cleaner white, stone surface or contrasting textile. Because screens flatten both light and texture, sample the paint beside the finishes that will ultimately surround it.
