Benjamin Moore

Baby Boy Blue

2056-50

Baby Boy Blue is a light sky blue with a slight green undertone that keeps it from reading icy. Its LRV of 54.42 reflects a moderate amount of light, so it stays bright without turning pastel in shade. It works well in bedrooms, baths, or ceilings where a light blue is needed.

Pair it with Whispering Spring and Silver Mist for related cool tones, and add White Dove or Hale Navy for contrast.
