Americana

Americana by Benjamin Moore is a cool deeper color. It will usually read cool in most homes rather than a sharp pure white.

Americana sits in the blue family. Its hue is about 193°, which keeps it in that range on the color wheel.

Brightness is about 15%. Saturation is around 100%. Lightness (HSL L) is roughly 29%. Hue is close to 193°. The hex value is #007594. The RGB value is 0, 117, 148.

Americana has brightness around 15%. It is deeper, so it usually looks best in rooms with fair to strong daylight, where there is enough light to show the color.

You can match Americana with simple whites for trim and ceiling, or with nearby neutrals from the same brand. The similar colors and complementary colors on this page are a good starting point for pairing.

Americana works well as an accent on one or two walls, in cozy rooms, or in spaces with stronger daylight where a deeper color will not feel heavy.

Americana is softer than a pure untinted white. The cool undertone and deeper color feel more gentle on the eye, so it tends to look calmer and less stark on large walls.
