Cross-brand matchCross-brand matchBenjamin Moore 1649 translated into the Kilz line
The closest Kilz paint to Benjamin Moore Polaris Blue (1649) is December Nights TB-36, a delta-E of 3.74 away — the closest Kilz has, and far enough away that you should sample it before committing.
December Nights is 3.3 LRV points darker, so the room will read slightly deeper. Undertone reads as blue cast against blue undertone, at chroma 6.5 and 10.2.
Codes are not transferable between manufacturers and no brand publishes a conversion table, so every figure here is measured from the published hex values rather than taken from a chart.
