Benjamin Moore

Brilliant Blue

2065-30

Brilliant Blue is a deep, high-chroma blue with cool undertones. Its LRV of 14.77 places it in the dark range, so it reads saturated and strong on walls. It works on feature walls, offices, or media rooms where a vivid blue is required.

It pairs with Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace and White Dove for crisp contrast, and with Blue Danube or Caribbean Teal for a related blue-green range; Kendall Charcoal or Amherst Gray can ground the palette.
