What color is Benjamin Moore Old Pickup Blue?

Benjamin Moore Old Pickup Blue 2054-60 is a light, airy blue with a clear aqua cast, reflected in its pale #B0DAE3 color value. It reads cool and clean rather than gray, with enough softness to keep it from feeling overly bright on broad walls. In daylight, the blue can appear especially fresh and open, while lower or warmer lighting may bring out its gentler, slightly muted side. Use it in bathrooms, bedrooms, laundry rooms, or a sunlit kitchen for a crisp wash of color, and pair it with white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or sandy beige textiles. Old Pickup Blue also makes a cheerful choice for painted cabinetry or a front door when a deeper, more saturated accent is not desired.
