Both soothing and nuanced, Bedford is a medium, cool blue with cool blue undertones. With an LRV of 43, it provides enough depth for visual interest while remaining approachable — ideal for dining rooms and studies. For a cross-brand equivalent, Kilz's Beach View is a near-identical match. PPG's Smoke Blue runs close as well. Balance its cool character with warm neutrals on adjacent surfaces, or embrace the chill with blue-gray accents.
