Benjamin Moore

Blue Note

2129-30

Blue Note is a deep navy with dark gray undertones. Its LRV of 9.02 is very low, so it reads dark and grounded. It works in libraries, bedrooms, or accent walls where a saturated navy is needed.

White Dove and Revere Pewter keep contrast clean, while Wythe Blue adds a softer blue-green. Copper Canyon or Chili Pepper can introduce a warm accent.

Blue Note 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.
