Captain Blue presents as a medium, cool blue with steely blue undertones and a restful mood. With an LRV of 42, it adds character to a space without overpowering it, working well in home offices, mudrooms, and powder rooms. Benjamin Moore offers Bedford as an extremely close match, while Sherwin-Williams's Inky Blue is also very similar.
