What is the Benjamin Moore equivalent of Riverway?
The closest Benjamin Moore match for Riverway is Knoxville Gray HC-160 (#5E6C6C). 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 Riverway warm or cool?
Riverway is cool, a blue-green held down by gray so neither hue shouts. Daylight reveals the teal; evening light flattens it toward charcoal-green. The LRV of approximately 16 makes it a true dark, so sample it in the actual room before committing cabinetry to it. Warm woods, brass, and cream trim keep it inviting, and it rewards rooms with good natural light.
Why does Riverway 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 #5D7274 as accurate for digital design work, and use physical samples for final approval.
What LRV does Riverway have?
Riverway has a Light Reflectance Value of approximately 16, meaning it reflects about 16% of visible light. That low value makes it a dramatic, light-absorbing choice that works well with strong natural light or as an accent.
