Benjamin Moore

Sonoma Skies

737

Sonoma Skies is a clear sky blue with subtle green undertones and an LRV of 61.97, placing it in the upper-mid reflectance range. The green cast prevents the blue from reading as overly cool or icy, giving it a balanced, slightly aqua-leaning quality. It maintains good color clarity on larger surfaces without washing out.

Benjamin Moore White Dove and Balboa Mist pair well as warm neutrals that offset the coolness. Hale Navy creates a deep tonal contrast within the blue family, and Guilford Green provides a natural analogous companion that connects to the green undertone.
