More about Wythe Blue
Wythe Blue is a historic mid-tone blue-green at LRV 49 — a muted, slightly dusty aqua with a vintage character that reads more sophisticated than a bright aqua. It has enough body to make a statement on cabinetry, a kitchen, or a whole room without going dark.
It swings between blue and green with the light, so it's worth sampling in place. It pairs beautifully with warm whites, brass, and natural wood for a classic, collected look. Behr Urban Putty is its closest cross-brand match, with Sherwin-Williams Hazel close.
