Benjamin Moore

Blue Diamond

736

Blue Diamond is a light blue with a slight green undertone. An LRV of 68.93 keeps it bright and open on walls. It works in bathrooms, bedrooms, or laundry rooms where a light blue-green is needed.

Chantilly Lace and Simply White keep trim crisp, while Soft Fern and Silver Mist reinforce the cool range. Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal can add contrast.

Blue Diamond 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.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
