Benjamin Moore

Delano Waters

766

Delano Waters is a clean light blue with a balanced cool tone and no strong green or violet shift. Its LRV of 61.11 makes it a high-reflectance option that keeps rooms feeling open and well-lit. The hue is straightforward blue, leaning neither too aqua nor too periwinkle, which simplifies coordination with other finishes.

It pairs well with Benjamin Moore Beach Glass, Palladian Blue, Chantilly Lace, Hale Navy, and Coventry Gray. This color is functional in bathrooms, bedrooms, or any space where a light, cool-toned wall is required.
