Retro Colonial Blue

LRV 16 gives it real depth, so it will not behave like an airy blue. For Retro Colonial Blue, cream trim plus brass. Avoid icy whites. The green gray undertone keeps it softened.

LRV
16.4LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
