Benjamin Moore

Blue

2066-10

Blue is a dark, saturated blue with cool undertones. Its LRV of 6.24 is very low, so it reads deep and dense on walls. It suits offices, libraries, or feature walls where a strong blue is needed.

Simply White and Ballet White keep contrast crisp, while Hale Navy and Black Ink extend the dark blue range. Breath of Fresh Air can be used for a lighter companion.
