Benjamin Moore

Schooner

AF-520

Schooner is a dark blue with subtle green undertones that prevent it from reading as a pure navy and give it a slightly teal-influenced character. Its LRV of 18.13 means it absorbs considerable light and will read darkest in rooms without strong natural illumination. The green shift becomes more visible under warm lighting.

White Dove and Edgecomb Gray are effective lighter pairings that allow the blue depth to come forward. Caliente provides a warm, high-contrast accent, while Palladian Blue and Soft Fern extend the cool-toned palette into lighter analogous territory.
