Benjamin Moore

San Francisco Bay

802

San Francisco Bay is a medium-depth blue with an LRV of 37.76, which means it absorbs more light than it reflects and reads as a definitive color statement on walls. Its undertones carry a slight gray quality, keeping it from reading too bright or primary. The hue shifts slightly warmer under incandescent bulbs.

Benjamin Moore White Dove and Cloud White provide clean contrast for trim and ceilings. Wickham Gray offers a lighter tonal step within the same cool family, while Hale Navy deepens the scheme. Soft Fern introduces a green complement for variation without clash.
