Blue Shock

4005-10B

Blue Shock is a saturated cornflower blue with a violet lean. The color earns its name. It can carry a dresser, playroom wall, or painted closet interior, but it will feel bold across a large open room.

LRV 28 puts it on the deep side. Pair it with white oak or simple black accents. Warm bulbs may nudge the purple note forward.

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.
