Benjamin Moore

Deep Royal

2061-10

Deep Royal is a very dark navy with cool blue-black undertones that bring it close to black in low-light conditions. Its LRV of 5.36 indicates minimal light reflectance, so adequate lighting is necessary to read its blue character. The undertone is firmly cool with no perceptible warmth or violet shift.

It pairs effectively with Benjamin Moore White Dove, Chantilly Lace, Simply White, Hawthorne Yellow, and Aegean Teal. High-contrast whites or pale neutrals from the same brand are recommended to prevent the color from appearing flat.
