Benjamin Moore

Brazilian Blue

817

Brazilian Blue is a cornflower blue with a subtle violet undertone. Its LRV of 31.69 gives it mid depth, so it reads clear without becoming pastel. It works in living rooms, bedrooms, or studios where a cool blue is needed.

It pairs with Benjamin Moore Gray Cashmere and Mt. Rainier Gray for a cool gray range, and with White Dove or Grant Beige for balance; Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal can add deeper contrast.
