More about Yarmouth Blue
Yarmouth Blue is a soft, historic powder blue at LRV 56 — a gentle, slightly grayed light blue with a timeless, coastal charm. It's clearly a blue but soft enough to behave like a serene near-neutral, popular for bedrooms, bathrooms, and traditional exteriors.
Its soft blue reads a touch cooler in north light and gentler under warm bulbs. It pairs with crisp whites and natural materials. Behr Dayflower is its near-identical cross-brand match, with Sherwin-Williams Sleepy Blue in the same family.
