More about Moody Blue
Moody Blue lives up to the name — a deep, dusky mid-tone blue at LRV 27 with a slightly grayed, teal-leaning character. It's lighter than a navy but darker than a soft powder blue, which makes it a flexible statement color for a bedroom, a study, or cabinetry.
It shifts a touch greener or grayer with the light, so sample in place. It pairs with crisp and warm whites, wood, and brass. Behr Raindance is its closest cross-brand match, with Benjamin Moore Aegean Teal very similar.
