Give this sample a clear job

Sample Benjamin Moore Wythe Blue HC-143 beside the fixed finishes, in the intended orientation and under normal room lighting. The trial should settle blue-green with enough body for cabinetry . Wythe Blue has more depth than Palladian Blue, giving its blue-green-gray mixture enough presence for a stronger painted feature.

Why the white counters and dark wood relationship matters

Dark wood can support the scheme, while a white countertop creates the sharper boundary that should be assessed before cabinet approval.

Wythe Blue has an LRV of 48.11; Benjamin Moore Palladian Blue HC-144 is 60.4. The difference is 12.29 points, with Palladian Blue returning more light under the reference measurement.

Keep the comparison fair

Keep the Wythe Blue sample broad enough to show its hue, with white counters and dark wood beside it. Remove extra paint chips during the final review and restore the belongings that will remain. Approve the color on its own, rather than a preference that depends on an unchosen neighboring sample.

Approve the actual coating and the least favorable view

Check the cabinet shadow before deciding whether the blue-green belongs on every door or only the island. The undertones and neighboring colors covers that related choice. The trim color comparison covers that related choice.

Keep the approved dried board with the complete Benjamin Moore HC-143 product and finish specification. Follow the actual coating instructions for application, drying and preparation; the color name does not settle those requirements. The daylight and evening-light checks covers that related choice. Before ordering samples, compare room-planning features in the paint color visualizer roundup.
