Cry Me A River

8003-46D

Cry Me A River is a muted blue with a lavender-gray cast. The softness keeps it livable. It works well in bedrooms, offices, and painted furniture when a clearer blue feels too bright.

Warm white trim keeps the color from feeling chilly. In evening light, expect the purple side to become a little more noticeable. Check Cry Me A River near fireplaces, since masonry changes undertones.
