Benjamin Moore

Peacock Blue

2049-40

Peacock Blue is a blue-green with cool undertones and moderate depth. With an LRV of 36.65, it provides noticeable color weight while still reflecting some light. It works well in living rooms, dining spaces, and offices where a cooler palette is desired.

The green undertone remains balanced and does not dominate. Peacock Blue pairs cleanly with Benjamin Moore White Dove, Chantilly Lace, and Pale Oak, while Coral Gables or Spanish Red add warm contrast.
