Benjamin Moore

Westcott Navy

1624

Westcott Navy (HC-156) by Benjamin Moore is a near-black navy that borders on charcoal, with a neutral undertone that avoids a strong blue or green cast. It registers an LRV of 9.87, confirming its classification as a dark shade that absorbs most available light. The restrained blue content separates it from pure black while maintaining sufficient depth for high-contrast applications.

Within the Benjamin Moore catalog, it pairs with White Dove, Simply White, Van Deusen Blue, Coventry Gray, and Salamander across various contrast ratios.
