Blue Danube
Benjamin Moore's Blue Danube is a blue shade whose quieter details emerge through comparison. Its cool classification gives it a crisper edge that may become clearer beside warm timber, cream or brass. Because screens flatten both light and texture, sample the paint beside the finishes that will ultimately surround it.
