Blue on Blue

V034-3

Blue on Blue is a deep peacock blue, sitting between teal and classic navy. It has muscle. Use it for cabinetry, a front door, or a dramatic powder room, not as a casual whole-house blue.

LRV 13 means shadows will thicken it quickly. White walls sharpen the color. Warm oak and unlacquered brass can keep the finish from feeling cold.

Blue on 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.

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.
