Benjamin Moore

Varsity Blues

756

Varsity Blues is a deep, saturated teal from Benjamin Moore with strong blue-green pigmentation. At an LRV of 13.81, it falls in the dark range and absorbs most ambient light, reading as a bold statement color on walls or built-ins. The cool undertones are balanced between blue and green without a dominant lean toward either.

White Diamond works as a high-contrast trim companion, while Warm Sienna and Dinner Party provide warm-toned contrast. Beach Glass and Guilford Green function as lighter analogous options within the same cool color family.
