San Jose Blue

741

San Jose Blue is a mid-to-deep turquoise with an LRV of 28.06, placing it firmly in the lower reflectance range where it will read as a bold, saturated statement on walls. Its undertones split between blue and green, producing a teal that holds intensity even on smaller surfaces. The color darkens noticeably in rooms with limited natural light.

Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace and Cloud White offer high contrast for trim. Palladian Blue provides a lighter analogous step, while Kendall Charcoal anchors darker accents. Hale Navy can work in a shared deep-tone scheme.
