Benjamin Moore

Britannia Blue

1623

Britannia Blue is a deep blue with a gray undertone. The gray cast is stronger in north light. Its LRV of 18.06 gives it a dark value that reads muted rather than bright.

It can be used in bedrooms, libraries, or accent walls where a low-chroma blue is desired. It pairs with Benjamin Moore White Dove for contrast, and with Revere Pewter or Kendall Charcoal for neutral balance; Hale Navy can deepen the blue range.
