Indigo

744

Indigo is a mid-tone sky blue with cool undertones and moderate saturation. With an LRV of 56.97, it reflects a reasonable amount of light while still reading as a defined color rather than a near-neutral. The shade works in rooms where a calm, blue presence is desired without overwhelming the space.

It coordinates with Benjamin Moore Beach Glass and Wythe Blue for tonal schemes, while Chantilly Lace and Hale Navy offer lighter and darker contrast options respectively.

Indigo 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.
