Blissful Blue

SW 6527

Blissful Blue (hex #B2C8D8) is a soft, cool-toned blue carrying subtle lavender undertones that shift its hue slightly toward the purple side of the spectrum. At an LRV of 56, it sits in the mid-range, reflecting a balanced amount of light without washing out or feeling dim. Its cool base performs consistently in north-facing rooms and spaces with ample natural light.

Pairing it with muted neutrals like Passive or Extra White produces a clean, cohesive cool palette, while deeper companions such as a rich navy or a gentle sage green introduce dimension without disrupting its overall restrained, quiet tone.
