Benjamin Moore

Aquarium Blue

2058-50

Aquarium Blue is a mid-value powder blue with cool undertones and a slightly muted saturation that keeps it from appearing overly bright. Its LRV of 47.73 places it near the center of the light-reflectance scale, so it holds visible color without absorbing too much ambient light. The hue leans toward cyan rather than true blue, which gives it a clean appearance on walls and cabinetry.

It pairs naturally with Paradiso and Tropicana Cabana in tonal blue schemes, while Newburyport Blue or Deep Royal can serve as darker accents. White Dove works well for adjacent trim.
