Celebration Blue

4008-6B

Celebration Blue is a shadowed teal blue with a muted base. The green note keeps it richer than a standard medium blue, but the low value makes it serious. A bath vanity, bookcase, or front door can use the color when the space needs structure.

It can also suit a compact office. In shade, it moves toward blue charcoal. Clean white trim and pale wood help the color stay legible.

Celebration 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.
