Benjamin Moore

Scandinavian Blue

2068-30

Scandinavian Blue is a saturated blue-violet with a decisive lean toward purple, registering cool and deep on the wall. At an LRV of 11.65, it absorbs most available light and will darken considerably in rooms with limited natural exposure. The blue and violet components shift in balance depending on the light source, with incandescent bulbs warming the violet.

Gray Owl and White Dove are effective as lighter counterparts to manage its intensity, while Hale Navy offers a related but darker tonal shift. Violet Mist and Lavender Ice extend the cool palette in a less saturated range.
