Norwester is a light, cool blue — restful in tone, with evenly balanced undertones. With an LRV of 70, it offers a serene backdrop for bedrooms, bathrooms, and reading nooks. For a cross-brand equivalent, Sherwin-Williams's Blithe Blue is a near-identical match. Benjamin Moore's Spirit runs close as well.
