Denim Wash

838 / CC-770

Denim Wash is a mid-tone chambray blue with cool, slightly dusty undertones. It registers an LRV of 35.17, providing moderate light reflectance that keeps it from reading too dark on walls. The color has a softened, faded quality that distinguishes it from saturated blues.

It is appropriate for bedrooms, living areas, or accent walls where a relaxed blue tone is desired. Recommended same-brand pairings include Benjamin Moore Silver Half Dollar, Chantilly Lace, Shenandoah Taupe, and Blue Hydrangea.
