Benjamin Moore

Clear Sailing

CC-784 / 773

Clear Sailing is a cerulean blue with a slight green undertone and clean chroma. Its LRV of 44.93 keeps it in the mid range without reading dark. It works in bedrooms, baths, or coastal-styled rooms where a clear blue is needed.

Natural Linen and White Dove provide warm neutral balance. Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal deepen the palette, and Wythe Blue keeps an analogous blue-green.

Clear Sailing in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
