Benjamin Moore

Bracken Blue

CW-600

Bracken Blue is a medium blue with a subtle teal undertone. The LRV of 33.3 gives it mid depth and keeps it from reading too light. It works in living rooms, libraries, or entryways where a stronger blue is required.

It pairs with Benjamin Moore Wythe Blue and Palladian Blue for a related range, and with Dinner Party or Rust for warm contrast; White Dove or Edgecomb Gray can lighten trim and adjacent walls.
