Splash

Benjamin Moore · 2059-60

The Analysis

Splash is a clear, mid-toned blue that acts as a reliable light-reflector, making rooms feel more spacious and open. Because of its relatively high LRV of 65.9, it effectively brightens up dim spaces without feeling overwhelming.

This is a versatile shade that works best as a primary wall colour in functional spaces. It provides enough character to stand on its own without requiring constant stylistic adjustment from your decor.

History & Origin

This is a distinctly modern and fresh choice. It moves away from the dusty, greyed-out blues of traditional historical palettes, favouring a crisp, contemporary aesthetic.

How to Use It

It performs best in bathrooms or laundry rooms where a clean look is desired. Pair it with light-toned woods like white oak or cool-toned metals like brushed nickel to keep the space feeling balanced and bright.

The Mood

Living with this colour creates a clean, focused, and calm atmosphere. It avoids the heavy fatigue of darker blues, making it an excellent choice for areas where you want a sense of clarity and organization.

Colour harmonies

Complementary

Opposite on the colour wheel — bold, high-contrast pairings. Use for a feature wall or furniture you want to command attention.

Analogous

Neighbouring hues — cohesive and calm, great for layered schemes that feel collected rather than matched.

Split complementary

Near-opposites for strong contrast with a little less tension than a pure complement. A favourite of interior designers.

Triadic

Three evenly spaced hues — balanced, vibrant, and versatile. Keep one dominant and use the others sparingly.

Tetradic (square)

Four hues in a square on the wheel — rich, dynamic palettes. Best when one colour leads and the others accent.

Monochromatic

Dark, mid, and light steps on the same hue — a failsafe gradient for trim, walls, and accents without shifting colour family.
