Benjamin Moore

Dragonfly

AF-510

Dragonfly is a deep blue-green with cool undertones that lean toward teal. With an LRV of 12.07, it reflects very little light and produces a saturated, immersive appearance on walls. This color works well in bedrooms, living rooms, and powder rooms where depth of color is the goal.

For contrast, pair it with Benjamin Moore White Heron. To build a layered cool-toned scheme, combine it with Green Grove or Mysterious. Palladian Blue can serve as a lighter transitional tone within the same palette.

Dragonfly in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
