Benjamin Moore

Swiss Blue

815

Swiss Blue (Benjamin Moore) is a medium-light periwinkle blue with soft purple undertones and an LRV of 52.96. The blue base is tempered by a violet shift, which keeps the color from reading as a standard sky or cornflower blue. At this reflectance level, it maintains enough depth to register as a definite color while still reflecting a reasonable amount of light.

It works alongside Benjamin Moore's White Dove, Gray Owl, Hale Navy, Lavender Mist, and Spring Purple for coordinated palettes.
