Beethoven Blue is a medium, cool neutral featuring balanced undertones and a soothing character. With an LRV of 51, it provides enough depth for visual interest while remaining approachable — ideal for dining rooms and studies. The most similar option from Benjamin Moore is Stratford, an extremely close match. It pairs beautifully with warm wood tones to offset its coolness, or with silver and chrome for a polished look.
