Cedar Key

There is more to Benjamin Moore Cedar Key (982) than the swatch alone: its depth, undertones and setting all shape the final impression. An LRV of 61.0 places it through the middle of the scale, where color and depth can remain visible as the light changes. Because screens flatten both light and texture, sample the paint beside the finishes that will ultimately surround it.
