Bayberry Blue

790

Bayberry Blue is a cerulean blue with cool undertones that keep it clear. Its LRV of 33.08 places it in the mid range, so it reads strong without becoming dark. Warm light shifts it slightly greener.

It is suitable for bedrooms, living rooms, or accent walls where a bright blue is needed. Pair it with Soft Sky and Ocean Air for related tones, and add White Dove or Hale Navy for contrast.

Bayberry 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 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.
