Blue Suede Shoes

798

Blue Suede Shoes is a deep rich blue with cool undertones. Its LRV of 11.51 gives it a low-reflectance, saturated finish. It works in libraries, dining rooms, or accent walls where a dark blue is needed.

Simply White and Edgecomb Gray keep contrast clean, while Blue Hydrangea and Riviera Azure provide lighter blue companions. Copper Canyon or Caliente can add a warm accent.

Blue Suede Shoes in Different Light
