Fairview Blue

779

Fairview Blue is a light powdery blue with cool undertones that read clean and crisp in application. Its LRV of 62.38 means it reflects a substantial amount of light, making rooms appear more open and bright. The hue lacks strong gray or green shifts, staying in a straightforward blue range.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore Iceberg or Silver Half Dollar for a tonal cool palette. Windmill Wings and Soft Chinchilla offer softer adjacent options. Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal can be used for deeper accent contrast.
