Benjamin Moore

Finley Blue

CW-620

Finley Blue is a deep, concentrated blue from Benjamin Moore modeled after documented 18th-century paint samples. It has an LRV of 22.28, placing it in the medium-dark range with limited light reflectance. The hue is cool-leaning with no strong green or violet shift, reading as a straightforward mid-navy blue.

It suits rooms with ample natural light where a darker wall color is desired, such as libraries or dining rooms. Pair it with Benjamin Moore White Dove or Simply White for clean contrast, Guilford Green for a cool-toned complement, or Revere Pewter for a warm neutral balance.
