Blue Springs

1592

Blue Springs is a blue-gray with cool undertones. An LRV of 48.74 keeps it in a balanced mid range. It works in bedrooms, living rooms, or offices where a muted blue-gray is needed.

Gray Owl and Stonington Gray maintain a cool neutral base, while Palladian Blue and Sea Foam add a soft blue-green note. Kendall Charcoal or Soot can deepen the palette.

Blue Springs 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.
