Blue Macaw

784

Blue Macaw is a saturated sapphire blue with cool undertones. Its LRV of 18.2 makes it a dark, rich blue on walls. It works for accent walls, offices, or cabinetry where a strong blue is needed.

Chantilly Lace and Gray Owl keep contrast crisp, while Silver Mist provides a lighter blue-gray. Rich Cream or Coral Gables can add warm accents.
