Benjamin Moore

Lafayette Blue

CW-610

Lafayette Blue is a clear, cool-toned blue with an LRV of 37.06, positioning it in the medium-light range where it holds color definition without becoming too dense on larger surfaces. Its formulation draws from period-authentic pigment combinations, giving it a slightly chalky, mineral quality distinct from synthetic-leaning blues. Van Courtland Blue and Wythe Blue work as coordinating historical-palette companions.

Kendall Charcoal grounds the scheme with dark neutral contrast, and Caliente introduces a warm red-orange counterpoint that reads historically consistent alongside this 18th-century-derived hue.
