Benjamin Moore

New Providence Navy

1651 / HC-158

New Providence Navy by Benjamin Moore is a deep teal with prominent blue undertones that distinguish it from a standard navy. At an LRV of 10.58, it is a low-reflectance shade that absorbs considerable light, making it effective for studies, living rooms, and bedrooms where a darker, more enclosed atmosphere is appropriate. The teal component keeps the color from reading as pure dark blue, adding a green-leaning complexity.

It coordinates well with Benjamin Moore White Dove, Gray Owl, Hale Navy, Wythe Blue, and Palladian Blue, supporting schemes from stark light-dark contrast to gradual tonal transitions.
