Cravin Cobalt

V071-6

Cravin Cobalt is an inky blue teal with strong saturation. The chroma is real. At LRV 8, it needs task lighting or a deliberate accent placement.

Cravin Cobalt works on a bookcase, powder room walls, or a glossy front door. Clean white, brass, and pale wood bring out the aquatic side without making the color feel themed. Move the sample around so Cravin Cobalt meets every exposure.
