Benjamin Moore

Yosemite Blue

2059-40

Yosemite Blue (Benjamin Moore) is a medium-saturation cerulean with pronounced cool blue undertones and minimal green influence. It registers an LRV of 32.54, placing it in the medium-reflectance range suitable for accent applications or full-room use in well-lit spaces. The hue reads distinctly blue without veering into teal or navy territory.

Within the Benjamin Moore line, it coordinates with White Dove for high-contrast trim, Swiss Coffee for a softened neutral pairing, Summer Blue for tonal continuity, Hale Navy for a deeper anchor, and Ocean Air for a lighter analogous complement.
