Amalfi

SW 6783

Amalfi (SW, #016E85) is a deep, saturated blue with a cool temperature and slight teal undertone. At an LRV of 12, it absorbs most ambient light, producing a bold, concentrated appearance best suited to accent applications or smaller surface areas. The hue reads as a strong, clear blue-green under natural light and darkens further in artificial settings.

Tame Teal and Spa offer analogous pairings that maintain its cool orientation, while Snowbound and Pure White provide necessary brightness for trim or adjacent walls. Tricorn Black deepens the overall scheme for a high-contrast composition.

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.
