Benjamin Moore

Crystal Blue

2051-70

Crystal Blue is a light blue-green with cool undertones and a soft, clean appearance. Its LRV of 78.44 means it reflects a high amount of light, helping spaces feel open and well-lit. The color sits between blue and green without committing strongly to either.

It coordinates well with Benjamin Moore's Palladian Blue and Sea Foam for a tonal grouping, while Hale Navy or Chelsea Gray provide contrast. Pairing it with White Dove or Simply White keeps the overall scheme light and balanced.
