Chiswell Blue

CW-660

Chiswell Blue is a medium-dark blue with a cool, slightly gray undertone. An LRV of 29.52 places it in the deeper mid-range. It suits studies, dining rooms, or full-room applications where a stronger blue is acceptable.

Gray Owl and Silver Half Dollar keep the scheme cool and light. Revere Pewter or Simply White can brighten trim, while Misted Green adds a soft adjacent color.
