Behr
Oarsman Blue
S450-5
In shaded rooms, it shifts closer to blue-green gray. Use white trim and rope-toned natural fiber for contrast. Warm wood can keep it from feeling chilly. Very bright aqua accents can dull it.

Oarsman Blue in Different Light
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
52.1LRV 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.
