Both cool and nuanced, Cerulean is a light, cool blue with blue-gray undertones. With an LRV of 81, it keeps spaces feeling open and airy, working well in bathrooms, bedrooms, and coastal-inspired rooms. Benjamin Moore offers Spring as an extremely close match, while Valspar's Crystal Aqua is also very similar. It complements both bright whites and charcoal grays, making it easy to build a cohesive palette around.
