Benjamin Moore

Newburyport Blue

HC-155

Newburyport Blue by Benjamin Moore is a dark, cool-toned blue with subtle gray undertones that moderate its saturation and keep it from reading purely primary. Its LRV of 10.31 places it among deeper shades, making it suitable for libraries, dining rooms, and living rooms where a low-light backdrop anchors the space. The gray influence allows it to transition between traditional and contemporary settings without significant clash.

Pairing it with Benjamin Moore's Chantilly Lace, Decorator's White, Lenox Tan, Silver Mist, or Beacon Gray provides a range from high contrast to soft tonal variation.
