Blue Bird Morning

P068

Blue Bird Morning is clear sky blue at a medium-light value, with gray for softness. It feels expansive. This color brightens bedrooms, baths, or porch ceilings.

Used broadly, it reads more blue than neutral, so keep fabrics calmer if the room needs rest. Crisp white, pale oak, and brushed nickel suit it. Warm bulbs mellow the color after dark.
