BFF Blue

V034-2

BFF Blue is a clear medium sky blue with a lively cyan cast. It reads bright and friendly. Use it where that energy helps, such as a kids' room, laundry area, or porch door.

On every wall, it will feel more colorful than a muted blue-gray. Choose crisp white and natural wood. Warm bulbs soften it after dark. Beige carpet can dull the clean blue.

BFF 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.
