Nocturnal Sea reads as a dramatic deep, saturated cool blue, shaped by its evenly balanced 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. For a cross-brand equivalent, Dutch Boy's Delft Blue is an extremely close match. Benjamin Moore's Symphony runs close as well. It pairs beautifully with warm wood tones to offset its coolness, or with silver and chrome for a polished look.
