Lupine

SW 6810

SW 6502 Lupine is a cool blue with noticeable purple undertones, registering an LRV of 16, which places it firmly in the darker range. Its violet lean gives it depth beyond a standard mid-navy, making it effective on accent walls, built-in cabinetry, or home office feature areas. The color reads rich under warm lighting and more blue in daylight.

Pair it with Pure White SW 7005 for sharp trim contrast, and consider Aleutian SW 6241, Samovar Silver SW 6233, or Jubilee SW 6248 for coordinated palettes. Creamy SW 7012 softens adjacent surfaces.
