Benjamin Moore

Hidden Sapphire

CSP-690

Hidden Sapphire is a deep, saturated blue with cool undertones that create a dense, absorptive appearance. With an LRV of 6.21, this color reflects minimal light and reads as a dark, concentrated shade suitable for studies, dining rooms, or accent applications. The blue base has subtle depth that becomes more apparent in varied lighting.

This color pairs effectively with Benjamin Moore White Dove and Classic Gray for high contrast, while Hawthorne Yellow adds warmth. Van Deusen Blue and Beach Glass provide analogous coordination within the blue family.
