Benjamin Moore

Marine Blue

2059-10

Marine Blue is a dark navy with restrained green undertones that keep it from reading as purely cool or violet-leaning. At an LRV of 6.15, it absorbs nearly all available light and functions almost as a colored black in low-light conditions. Clean whites like Chantilly Lace or Cloud White are essential companions, providing the contrast needed to define trim, moldings, and architectural features against this depth.

Blue Danube offers a lighter blue for transitional spaces, and Gray Owl introduces a balanced neutral that bridges the gap between the navy and white.

Marine Blue in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

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.
