Belvedere Blue

No. 215

Belvedere Blue is a cool blue with gray undertones that keep it muted in most lighting conditions. With an LRV of 50, it sits around mid-range and can work on full walls without reading слишком dark in average daylight. It is often used in bedrooms, bathrooms, and living areas where a controlled cool tone is needed.

For clean adjacent neutrals, Wimborne White and Cornforth White work well on trim and nearby walls. For deeper accents, Railings and Hague Blue add stronger contrast, and Skylight can be used as a lighter blue transition.

Belvedere Blue 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.
