Benjamin Moore

Blue Bay Marina

1655

Blue Bay Marina is a light blue with cool undertones. An LRV of 56.65 gives it mid-level reflectance and a soft read on walls. It works in bedrooms, baths, or laundry rooms where a muted blue is needed.

Wickham Gray and Quiet Moments keep it soft, while Chantilly Lace keeps trim crisp. Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal add contrast.

Blue Bay Marina in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
