Benjamin Moore

Caribbean Azure

2059-20

Caribbean Azure is a saturated sapphire blue with cool undertones that lean slightly green in some light. The LRV of 9.96 shows it is very deep and will read bold on full walls. It is best used for an accent wall, built-ins, or furniture where strong color is appropriate.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace or Stonington Gray to control contrast. Sea Foam Green, Blue Lagoon, or Coral Gables add related or opposing notes.
