Benjamin Moore

Sapphire Ice

808 / CC-878

Sapphire Ice is a clean powder blue registering an LRV of 50.43, which places it near the center of the light-dark scale. It carries a straightforward blue undertone with minimal green or violet lean, reading as a direct, uncomplicated cool hue. In north-facing rooms it will appear crisper and more saturated, while southern exposures soften it slightly.

It pairs reliably with Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace, Simply White, Hale Navy, Revere Pewter, and Gray Wisp, supporting both tonal blue layering and neutral-grounded contrast schemes.

Sapphire Ice in Different Light
