Benjamin Moore

Jamaican Aqua

2048-60

Jamaican Aqua (LRV 71.3) is a light, high-clarity aqua with blue-green undertones that lean slightly more toward green than blue in most lighting conditions. Its high reflectance value means it will brighten a room considerably while still registering as a definite color rather than a near-white. The saturation is gentle enough to work on full walls without overwhelming adjacent surfaces.

It coordinates with Benjamin Moore's White Dove and Chantilly Lace as trim partners, pairs with Hale Navy or Chelsea Gray for contrast, and blends with Palladian Blue in tonal schemes.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
