As a deep, saturated cool blue, North Sea Blue brings a captivating energy through its oceanic undertones. With an LRV of 23, it absorbs light dramatically, making it ideal for accent walls, cabinetry, and front doors where bold contrast is the goal. Benjamin Moore offers Adriatic as with only a slight difference visible side by side, while Behr's Velvet Evening is also very similar. It pairs beautifully with warm wood tones to offset its coolness, or with silver and chrome for a polished look.
