Benjamin Moore

Navy Masterpiece

1652 / HC-157

Navy Masterpiece is a blackened teal with strong blue-green and gray undertones that place it between navy and dark green on the color spectrum. With an LRV of 9.14, it absorbs most available light and functions as a near-dark neutral in low-lit environments. The green undertone distinguishes it from a pure navy and gives it a noticeable teal shift in bright or warm lighting conditions.

It pairs well with the warm cream of Navajo White 947, the mid-tone San Carlos Tan 1207, the clean Pure White OC-64, and the cooler mid-gray Boothbay Gray HC-165.
