Horizon
Benjamin Moore
OC-53
Horizon is a pale, cool gray with a clean, slightly blue cast, like morning light before the sun commits. It is a useful wall color for modern bedrooms, bathrooms, and offices where soft gray should stay soft rather than turn greige. It keeps good company with white marble, chrome, and cooler wood tones like ash.

What is the Sherwin-Williams equivalent of Horizon?
The closest Sherwin-Williams match for Horizon is Reserved White SW 7056 (#E0E0D9). No cross-brand match is exact, because each brand mixes its own pigment formulas. Always confirm with a physical sample before specifying a substitute.
Is Horizon warm or cool?
Horizon is cool, a pale gray with a faint blue undertone and none of the beige that warms most light grays. Its LRV is approximately 75, so it reads as a barely-gray white in bright rooms. The coolness intensifies in north light, where it can feel wintry without warm furnishings to offset it. In sunny rooms it stays fresh and shadowless, which is exactly its appeal.
Why does Horizon look different on screen than on the wall?
Screens emit light while paint reflects it, so a hex code cannot capture how lighting, sheen, and surrounding colors shift paint in a real room. Treat #DFE1DB as accurate for digital design work, and use physical samples for final approval.
What LRV does Horizon have?
Horizon has a Light Reflectance Value of approximately 75, meaning it reflects about 75% of visible light. That places it among lighter colors that keep rooms feeling open and bright.
