Maritime Blue

667

Maritime Blue is a light aqua-green with a noticeable green undertone that keeps it from reading as a straightforward blue. At an LRV of 65.46, it reflects a good amount of light while still registering as a definite color on the wall. The green bias becomes more apparent in warm lighting and can shift slightly cooler under northern exposure.

It coordinates well with Sweet Bluette and Whispering Spring for a tonal scheme, while Newburyport Blue or Midnight Navy provide strong contrast. White Dove works as a reliable trim companion.

Maritime Blue 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.
