Blue Burst

4008-10B

Blue Burst is a vivid medium blue with a strong cyan punch. Cyan undertones give cabinets a sharp jolt. Use this on a painted door, kids' room furniture, or a bath vanity where color should be obvious.

Since it sits at a deeper value than many brights, full walls need clean contrast. Glossy white tile sharpens the cyan. Warm wood relaxes it. Muddy beige can make the blue look harsh, so keep nearby neutrals cleaner.

Blue Burst 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.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
