Benjamin Moore

Island Paradise

606

Island Paradise is a blue-green of moderate saturation that reads clearly as aqua under most lighting conditions. With an LRV of 43.84, it reflects a fair amount of light while still delivering noticeable color impact. Its undertones lean slightly more blue than green, which prevents it from appearing overly minty.

The hue works well alongside Benjamin Moore's Soft Fern, Tranquil Blue, Hale Navy, Kendall Charcoal, and White Dove, supporting both tonal combinations within the blue-green family and sharper pairings against dark neutrals.
