Robin's Nest

618

Robin's Nest is a powder blue with a noticeable green undertone, carrying an LRV of 68.45, which keeps it in the upper-mid reflectance range. The green shift separates it from standard baby blues, giving it a slightly aqua cast that becomes more apparent in daylight. Under incandescent lighting, the warmth in the green undertone is amplified, while fluorescent light pulls it cooler.

Use White Dove as trim for a clean pairing, anchor it with Hale Navy for strong tonal contrast, and bridge it with Beach Glass or Palladian Blue for a cohesive cool-toned arrangement.

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.
