Benjamin Moore

Fair Isle Blue

CSP-715

Fair Isle Blue is a deep blue with noticeable green undertones that give it a teal-leaning character. It has an LRV of 15.58, making it a low-reflectance color that absorbs most ambient light and reads as a dark, saturated tone. The green shift distinguishes it from pure navy shades and adds complexity to the hue.

Benjamin Moore Beach Glass and Woodlawn Blue serve as lighter analogous pairings. Hawthorne Yellow introduces a warm complementary contrast, while Kendall Charcoal provides a near-neutral dark companion.
