Benjamin Moore

Evening Blue

2066-20

Evening Blue is a deep sapphire blue with cool undertones and high color saturation. It has an LRV of 9.55, meaning it absorbs most ambient light and reads as a dark, dense tone on walls. This makes it appropriate for rooms where a low-light, focused atmosphere is needed.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace or Simply White for strong tonal contrast. Golden Straw introduces a warm complement, while Gray Owl and Kendall Charcoal provide tonal coordination within cooler and neutral ranges.
