Benjamin Moore

Blue Wave

2065-50

Blue Wave is a medium blue with cool undertones and noticeable chroma. Its LRV of 45.63 gives it moderate depth, so it reads clear on walls in well-lit rooms and slightly deeper in low light. It suits bathrooms, laundry rooms, or an accent wall where a saturated blue is acceptable.

It pairs with Benjamin Moore Iceberg and Frostine for a cool range, and White Dove or Pale Oak for lighter contrast; Lemon Glow can add a warm counterpoint.
