Indigo
What Indigo Actually Looks Like
Indigo 744 sits in that quiet middle ground between blue and teal, reading as a muted, watery blue-green in most rooms. It is light enough to feel open and fresh without being stark. The name suggests a deep indigo blue, but this color is far softer than that, closer to a pale aqua or sea glass tone. In bright daylight it can feel almost ethereal, and in lower light it settles into a more grounded, dusty blue.
Indigo Undertones
The hex and RGB values confirm a color with both blue and green in roughly equal measure, with green pulling slightly ahead. Expect a cool, aquatic character. There is no meaningful warm or yellow pull here. In rooms with warm incandescent light the coolness softens, but the green-blue core stays present.
Where Indigo Works Best
This is a color that works well where you want a calm, refreshing feel without committing to a bold statement. Bathrooms and laundry rooms are natural fits given its water-adjacent quality. It also reads pleasantly in bedrooms where a light, cool palette aids rest. Because its LRV is moderate, well above mid-range, it keeps rooms feeling bright rather than heavy.
Where to put Indigo
The water-toned quality of Indigo 744 feels completely at home in a bathroom. Pair it with white fixtures and natural stone or wood accents and it reinforces that clean, spa-adjacent calm without feeling themed or overdone.
At this lightness level the color does not close a room in, and its cool tone reads as restful rather than cold. Use warm-toned textiles, like linen or tan, to balance the coolness and keep the space feeling inviting.
A fresh, light blue-green makes a utilitarian space feel less of a chore to be in. The color brings a brightness that works especially well when the room has limited natural light.
Because the LRV is solidly above mid-range, hallways stay bright even without abundant windows. The cool aqua tone keeps the passage feeling airy rather than closed-in.
What to Pair With Indigo
No specific Benjamin Moore coordinating colors were provided for this color. As a cool blue-green with moderate lightness, it pairs naturally with clean whites, warm off-whites, soft warm grays, and natural wood tones. Crisp white trim grounds it well. Deeper navy or teal accents give it direction without fighting its character.

Colors that clash with Indigo
Blue-green and orange sit directly across from each other on the color wheel. Terracotta tile, burnt-orange textiles, or warm brick will compete aggressively with Indigo 744 rather than complement it.
Some bright whites have a slight pink or violet cast that reads purple against a blue-green wall, creating an unintentional and distracting contrast.
Common questions
The LRV is 56.97, which places it in the light-to-medium range. In practice that means the color reflects a solid amount of light and will not make most rooms feel dark or heavy. It is bright enough for smaller spaces and rooms with limited windows.
In most lighting conditions it reads as a balanced blue-green, similar to aqua or sea glass. Green has a slight edge in the underlying values, so in rooms with warm light the green quality can come forward a bit more.
Eggshell is a reliable choice for most wall applications. It is easy to clean and does not amplify imperfections the way satin or semi-gloss can. In bathrooms or high-moisture areas, satin gives you additional durability while still reading smoothly on the wall.
