Dolphin's Cove

722

Dolphin's Cove is a light sky blue with cool undertones that give it a clean, open quality on walls. It registers an LRV of 66.86, meaning it reflects a substantial amount of light and can make rooms appear larger and brighter. This shade is appropriate for bedrooms, bathrooms, and living areas in coastal or traditional design schemes.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore Ocean Air or Beach Glass for an analogous blue-green grouping. Hale Navy provides a deeper contrast, and Chantilly Lace or Cloud White work as clean trim options.
