Undertone: Noticeable blue undertone
In CIELAB, Comet sits at L* 66.1, a* -1.4, b* -7.5. Its hue angle is 260° and its chroma is 7.7, so it leans blue clearly enough to notice on a full wall. It classifies as cool. Among Benjamin Moore colors with a similar LRV (±5), it is warmer (more yellow) than 12%.
LRV 36.3: mid-tone
Light Reflectance Value runs from 0 (absolute black) to 100 (perfect white). At 36.3, Comet is lighter than 40% of Benjamin Moore colors. Reads clearly as a color. Best in rooms with good natural light, or as an accent wall; small dark rooms may feel smaller.
