Steel Blue

Steel Blue sits at an LRV of 35.27, functioning as a medium-value blue with discernible violet undertones that emerge more clearly under warm incandescent lighting. In daylight, the violet component recedes and the hue reads as a straightforward mid-tone blue-gray. It holds moderate depth on walls without absorbing excessive light in standard-sized rooms.

Benjamin Moore Blue Heather and Nimbus Gray work as analogous companions, while Chantilly Lace sharpens the contrast against its cool base. Warm Sienna introduces a complementary warmth, and Yellow Marigold provides a more pronounced temperature contrast when used sparingly as an accent.
