Blueprint

S470-5

Blueprint by Behr is a muted medium blue with cool gray undertones and a Light Reflectance Value of 48.2, placing it in the mid-range of the brightness scale. The gray influence tempers the blue, producing a subdued tone rather than a saturated one. This color is suitable for full-room application, accent walls, or exterior siding where moderate depth is desired.

Blueprint works alongside Behr Swiss Coffee for warm contrast, Silver City for a lighter tonal step, Light French Gray for a cooler complement, and Even Better Beige to introduce warmth.
