Riviera Azure

822 / CC-906

Riviera Azure is a muted periwinkle blue with an LRV of 44.82, placing it in the mid-range for light reflectance. Cool violet-blue undertones give it a soft, dusty quality that distinguishes it from brighter sky blues. Under warm artificial light, the violet component becomes slightly more visible, while in north-facing rooms it leans cooler and grayer.

It works well alongside Revere Pewter or Edgecomb Gray for warm neutral balance, gains definition next to Hale Navy or Newburyport Blue, and sits comfortably with analogous tones like Beach Glass or Silver Mist.

Riviera Azure 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.
