Steel Blue is a dark, warm neutral featuring violet undertones and a approachable character. With an LRV of 11, it grounds a space with quiet intensity, working beautifully in dens, master bedrooms, and formal dining rooms. Looking across brands, MPC's Anodic Black comes in as a close visual equivalent. Try it alongside a cool-toned accent to create visual balance, or lean into warmth with natural wood tones.
