Bainbridge Blue

749

Bainbridge Blue is a medium-dark denim blue with a cool undertone that deepens the color. Its LRV of 13.92 indicates low reflectance, so it reads dark on broad walls. Cool daylight keeps the blue note clear, while warm light mutes it.

It is suitable for offices, dining rooms, or cabinetry where a deep blue is needed. Pair it with White Dove and Simply White for clean contrast, and add Ocean Air or Hale Navy for coordination.

Bainbridge 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.
