Benjamin Moore

Toronto Blue

2060-40

Toronto Blue (BM) is a saturated cerulean with a clean, cool temperature and moderate depth. Its LRV of 32.04 positions it as a mid-tone blue that reflects enough light to remain clearly legible as blue rather than dark or navy. The undertone is straightforwardly cool without strong green or violet shifts, keeping it squarely in the true blue family.

Compatible Benjamin Moore colors include Simply White, Swiss Coffee, Black Pepper, Rainforest Dew, and Palladian Blue, which offer both neutral contrast pairings and analogous cool-toned groupings.
