Benjamin Moore

Jet Blue

CC-870 / 826

Jet Blue is a dark sapphire blue carrying subtle violet undertones that become more apparent under warm lighting. With an LRV of 8.37, it absorbs a significant amount of light and reads as a deep, saturated tone on walls. The violet shift distinguishes it from pure navy blues, lending a layered quality to the pigment.

It pairs well with lighter neutrals like White Dove or Chantilly Lace for strong contrast, while Misty Gray and Silver Half Dollar offer softer transitions. Aegean Teal works as a muted complement within the same scheme.

Jet Blue in Different Light
