Benjamin Moore

Aquarius

788

Aquarius is a medium-value watery blue with a slight green shift that becomes more apparent in warm artificial light. At an LRV of 47.42 it provides balanced brightness without washing out in well-lit spaces or turning heavy in dimmer ones. The cool undertone is consistent enough for use on all four walls of a room.

White Dove and Classic Gray both function as compatible trim colors, while Hale Navy offers a strong contrast on accent surfaces. For a tonal scheme, Palladian Blue and Kendall Charcoal extend the range from light to dark.
