Ol Blue Eyes

V105-5

Ol Blue Eyes is a deep blue-gray built on a muted teal cast. The teal-gray base gives vanities and built-ins a softened navy mood. Use it for an office or a bath vanity where a calm dark blue works better than navy.

Warm white trim brings out the color. Brushed nickel makes it cooler. Since the LRV is 15, darker rooms will need good lamps if the blue needs to stay visible.
