Blue Ridge Mist

8002-41D

Blue Ridge Mist is a medium soft blue with a gray-green undertone. It has more body than mist. On walls, it can support a relaxed bedroom or a built-in bookcase without turning loud.

Stone counters and driftwood finishes suit the muted blue. LRV 35 means it needs some brightness around it. In north light, the gray side will show first.

Blue Ridge Mist 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.
