Benjamin Moore

Tranquil Blue

2051-50

Tranquil Blue (BM) is a mid-tone blue-green with gray undertones that temper its saturation, producing a muted, cool appearance. Its Light Reflectance Value of 48.8 places it near the middle of the reflectance scale, meaning it neither significantly brightens nor darkens a space. The gray content prevents it from reading as a vivid teal, keeping it subdued on walls.

It coordinates with Benjamin Moore's Soft Fern and November Rain for an analogous scheme, Hale Navy and Kendall Charcoal for deeper contrast, and Decorator's White for a clean, cool trim option.
