Luxe Blue

SW 6537

SW 6537 Luxe Blue is a cool blue carrying purple undertones with an LRV of 13, making it a deep, low-light-reflective color. The violet influence distinguishes it from straightforward navy tones, giving walls a layered, complex appearance. It performs well in dining rooms, libraries, and bedrooms where a darker envelope is desired.

Use Extra White SW 7006 or Incredible White SW 7028 for contrasting trim. It coordinates effectively with Uncertain Gray SW 6234, Debonair SW 9139, and Aleutian SW 6241 in broader color schemes.
