Serenata

AF-535

Serenata is a mid-value chambray blue with cool undertones that lean slightly toward a dusty gray-blue rather than a vivid sky tone. At an LRV of 51.5, it reflects a moderate level of light and maintains a steady presence without overwhelming a room. In north-facing spaces, the cool cast deepens

Serenata 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.
