As a deep, cool blue, Velvet Evening brings a graceful energy through its oceanic undertones. With an LRV of 25, it adds depth and sophistication, well-suited for accent walls, powder rooms, and home offices. The closest cross-brand match is MPC's North Sea Blue, with only a slight difference visible side by side. Benjamin Moore's Adriatic is another strong alternative. It complements both bright whites and charcoal grays, making it easy to build a cohesive palette around.
