Benjamin Moore

Sea to Shining Sea

789

Sea to Shining Sea is a saturated yet controlled blue with an LRV of 43.84, giving it enough reflectance to read as bright without overwhelming a room. It carries slight gray undertones that prevent it from appearing overly vivid, and it holds its hue consistently under both warm and cool lighting. Chantilly Lace or Cloud White provide crisp opposition as trim, while Beach Glass and Gray Owl serve as transitional companions in adjacent spaces.

Hale Navy can anchor the scheme as a deeper accent on built-ins or doors.
