Benjamin Moore

Covington Blue

HC-138

Covington Blue is a medium blue-green with soft green undertones that become more apparent under warm lighting. It registers an LRV of 43.21, giving it a balanced weight that reads neither too dark nor too pale across most wall surfaces. The blue-green blend lends itself well to coastal or transitional spaces, and it functions effectively in bedrooms, living rooms, or on kitchen cabinetry.

Grant Beige and Edgecomb Gray provide warm neutral contrast when used alongside it. For tonal layering, Palladian Blue extends its cool range, while Hale Navy introduces a deeper anchor point in the same palette.
