Benjamin Moore

Passion Blue

2053-50

Passion Blue is a medium blue with cool undertones that read crisp rather than muted. With an LRV of 48.01, it reflects enough light to remain clear while maintaining noticeable color presence. It holds its tone well in both natural and artificial lighting.

The color works effectively in bedrooms, bathrooms, or coastal-influenced spaces. Pair it with Benjamin Moore Simply White or White Dove for clarity, and use Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal for deeper contrast.
