New Born's Eyes

1663

New Born's Eyes by Benjamin Moore is a mid-tone blue with cool undertones that keep it from shifting toward green or violet on the wall. It has an LRV of 41.21, giving it moderate reflectance that works well in bedrooms, bathrooms, and coastal-themed spaces where a cooler atmosphere is appropriate. The color maintains enough depth to read clearly as blue while remaining light enough to avoid darkening smaller rooms.

It pairs naturally with Benjamin Moore White Dove, Hale Navy, Woodlawn Blue, Palladian Blue, and Stonington Gray, supporting both monochromatic and contrasting arrangements.
