Benjamin Moore

Blue Lake

2053-40

Blue Lake is a medium blue-green with a slate undertone. Its LRV of 30.21 gives it mid-depth weight on walls. It works in bedrooms, reading nooks, or accent walls where a muted blue-green is needed.

White Dove and Ballet White keep contrast light, while Palladian Blue and Wythe Blue stay in a related range. Hale Navy or Chelsea Gray can add depth.
