As a deep, warm blue, Basic brings a relaxed energy through its warm rose undertones. With an LRV of 29, it creates a cocooning effect, perfect for moody bedrooms, libraries, and intimate dining rooms. For a cross-brand equivalent, Dunn-Edwards's Cobalt is an extremely close match. MPC's Napoleon Blue runs close as well. Coordinate with warm whites for trim and natural materials like jute and linen for a layered look.
