Benjamin Moore Santa Monica Blue 776 is a medium-depth blue with a muted, slightly gray cast that keeps it from reading overly bright. Its cool character is most apparent in daylight, while lower or warmer lighting can bring out a softer, more subdued blue. Santa Monica Blue suits a study, powder room, bedroom, or built-in cabinetry where a clear but restrained color is wanted. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, weathered wood, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents for a grounded palette. On an exterior door or shutters, this shade offers noticeable color without the intensity of a vivid navy.
