Wild Blue Yonder

8001-44D

Blue still wins. Wild Blue Yonder has a clear blue body with a softened gray edge. Use it where cabinetry or shelving can carry real color without feeling neon.

Cream trim will make the blue friendlier, and brushed nickel keeps the cooler side clean. In shaded rooms, add lighter textiles before deciding the shade is too heavy. A denim accent will connect the blue.
