Benjamin Moore

Jamestown Blue

HC-148

Jamestown Blue (LRV 33.78) is a muted blue with distinct gray and green undertones that pull it toward a weathered, dusty register. It sits at a mid-range reflectance, reading as a medium-value tone that neither dominates nor recedes entirely. The gray content keeps it from appearing saturated, giving it a quieter presence than brighter cornflower blues.

It pairs with Benjamin Moore's White Dove for crisp trim contrast, aligns tonally with Windy Sky or Quiet Moments, and can be grounded with deeper values like Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal.
