Coventry Blue

4005-5C

Coventry Blue is a medium blue with enough gray to stay calm. The blue still reads clearly. It works well for bedrooms, bathroom walls, or a painted dresser when navy feels too heavy.

In shaded light, the gray side becomes stronger. White porcelain and light maple keep the room from feeling closed in. View Coventry Blue upright, since flat samples can mislead.

Coventry 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.
