Lucerne

AF-530

Lucerne is a deep, saturated blue with an LRV of 13.54, placing it firmly in the low-light-reflectance category. The hue leans toward navy but carries noticeable teal undertones that distinguish it from a pure dark blue. It reads cooler in north-facing light and slightly warmer under incandescent sources.

For trim and ceiling contrast, White Dove OC-17 or Cloud White OC-130 are reliable companions. Caliente AF-290 introduces a bold complementary pairing, while Chestertown Buff HC-9 provides warmth. Night Train 1567 and Newburg Green HC-158 extend a moody, layered palette.

Lucerne in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
