Benjamin Moore

Santa Clara

753

Santa Clara is a mid-depth blue with green undertones that shift its appearance toward teal under certain lighting conditions. Its LRV of 36.47 positions it in the medium range, dark enough to anchor a room but still capable of reflecting moderate light. The green influence is most visible under warm lighting, where the color pulls noticeably toward aqua.

It works well when trimmed with Simply White or White Dove, and pairs naturally with Saybrook Sage and Gray Owl in analogous arrangements. Kendall Charcoal provides a deeper anchor when used on adjacent accent surfaces.
