Benjamin Moore

St. Lucia Skies

781

St. Lucia Skies is a clean, moderately saturated blue with cool undertones and no significant gray or green drift. At an LRV of 47.3, it reflects a balanced amount of light, reading distinctly blue without darkening a room substantially.

The hue holds steady under both natural and artificial light, though north-facing exposure will emphasize its cooler qualities. It performs well as a primary wall color in medium to well-lit spaces. Benjamin Moore Simply White and Cloud White pair cleanly as trim, Edgecomb Gray and Classic Gray offer warm neutral grounding, and Pale Vista introduces a soft green complement.
