Benjamin Moore

Van Courtland Blue

HC-145 / 1635, AC-23

Van Courtland Blue from Benjamin Moore is a muted, mid-tone blue with gray and slight green undertones that soften its overall appearance. It has an LRV of 31.47, giving it moderate depth that reads as a definite color without becoming overly dark. The gray cast keeps it restrained and prevents it from appearing overly saturated, making it functional on larger wall surfaces and millwork.

It coordinates with Benjamin Moore's White Dove, Creamy White, Palladian Blue, Kendall Charcoal, and Revere Pewter.
