Ewing Blue

CW-585

Ewing Blue is a soft, pale blue with subtle Prussian blue undertones that give it a slightly cool, muted cast. Its LRV of 73.41 makes it a high-reflectance option that enhances natural light in any room. It reads as a near-neutral blue, suitable for bedrooms, living rooms, and coastal-style interiors.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore Simply White or Chantilly Lace for a clean, light combination. For deeper contrast, use Hale Navy or Chelsea Gray. Palladian Blue works as an analogous companion to build a coordinated cool palette.
