Blueberry Festival

V072-5

Blueberry Festival is a softened denim blue with medium-deep depth. The name fits the depth. It can be used on an island, built-ins, or a bedroom wall when navy feels too formal.

LRV 23 makes it a real color commitment. White trim gives it definition. Natural wood and oatmeal textiles keep the blue from feeling too crisp overall.

Blueberry Festival 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.
