Windy Sky

1639

Windy Sky (BM) is a pale blue with gray undertones, carrying an LRV of 65.66. At hex #C8D8D9, the color sits in the light-to-medium reflectance range, reading as a muted, desaturated blue-green that avoids strong chromatic intensity. The gray component tempers the blue, preventing it from appearing overly saturated in north-facing or artificially lit rooms.

Effective same-brand pairings include White Dove, Gray Owl, Hale Navy, Silver Mist, and Quiet Moments, enabling coordinated palettes ranging from subdued monochromatic schemes to sharper light-dark contrasts.
