Benjamin Moore

Dark Harbor

CSP-720

Dark Harbor is a deep blue with green undertones, placing it in the teal-navy range on the color spectrum. It has an LRV of 7.72, which means it absorbs most available light and produces a dark, saturated appearance on walls. The blue-green balance gives it a nautical quality without leaning too far in either direction.

Simply White and Balboa Mist provide strong light-dark contrast when used alongside it. Waterfall and Soft Fern work as analogous companions, and Kendall Charcoal offers a grounded neutral pairing.
