Charter Blue

M530-6

Charter Blue is medium-deep slate blue with a muted navy-gray base, structured enough for built-ins or an office wall. Low light may make it look more charcoal in corners. Daylight reveals the blue on larger surfaces.

Interior doors can carry the same tailored depth. Warm white trim or pale oak gives needed contrast. Satin finish helps high-touch surfaces keep a cleaner look. The shade feels tailored.

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
