California Blue

2060-20

California Blue is a deep sapphire blue with a slight green undertone. With an LRV of 9.76, it reads very dark and saturated. It is suitable for accent walls, studies, or rooms that can handle low reflectance.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace or White Diamond for crisp contrast. Silver Mist or Golden Straw can be used to soften or warm the palette. In warmer light, the undertone stays present and the color can deepen slightly.
