Benjamin Moore

Anderson Blue

CW-565

Benjamin Moore Anderson Blue is a mid-tone blue with a clear teal undertone, formulated from Prussian blue and white pigments as part of the Williamsburg collection. Its LRV of 48.02 places it in the medium-light range, reflecting enough light to keep a room from feeling dark while still delivering noticeable color. The teal shift becomes more pronounced under warm artificial lighting.

It pairs well with Benjamin Moore White Dove and Classic Gray for a quieter combination, or with Hale Navy and Kendall Charcoal when a stronger tonal range is needed.
