Benjamin Moore
HC-155
Newburyport Blue is a classic dark navy that shows a touch more blue than Hale Navy, with less gray muting the color.

Is Newburyport Blue warm or cool?
This is a cool navy. Newburyport Blue carries a clearer blue presence than gray-based navies like Hale Navy, with a slight slate undertone. Its LRV is approximately 9, deep enough to read near-black in dim rooms while showing true navy in daylight. Because the blue is more pronounced, it pairs most naturally with whites, warm woods, and reds; against cooler grays it can start to dominate the scheme.
Why does Newburyport Blue look different on screen than on the wall?
Screens emit light while paint reflects it, so a hex code cannot capture how lighting, sheen, and surrounding colors shift paint in a real room. Treat #465566 as accurate for digital design work, and use physical samples for final approval.
What LRV does Newburyport Blue have?
Newburyport Blue has a Light Reflectance Value of approximately 9, meaning it reflects about 9% of visible light. That low value makes it a dramatic, light-absorbing choice that works well with strong natural light or as an accent.
