Soft Blue

V107-1

Soft Blue is pale gray with a clean blue cast and an airy character. The pale blue-gray cast keeps bedrooms airy without turning bright. The shade suits bedrooms, bathrooms, or ceilings where a hint of blue can freshen the room.

On larger walls, it feels cooler beside beige carpet or warm wood. Pair with crisp trim and brushed nickel for a cleaner read. If the room has north light, sample broadly because the color may become more gray than blue.

Soft 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.
