Mistral

CC-842

Mistral (CC-842) is a deep marine blue with an LRV of 10.28, placing it firmly in the dark end of the spectrum. Its base is a saturated cyan-blue with green undertones that give it a teal-like depth, while a subtle gray quality keeps it from reading as overly bright. The low light reflectance means this color absorbs most ambient light, making it best suited for accent applications or well-lit rooms.

It pairs naturally with Chantilly Lace (OC-65) for high contrast, and works alongside Newburyport Blue (HC-155), Van Deusen Blue (HC-156), Balboa Mist (OC-27), and Manchester Tan (HC-81) for layered schemes.
